Kota (also known as “quarter”) is a beloved South African street food — a bold, flavor-packed meal served in a hollowed-out quarter loaf of bread and stuffed with everything from French fries and fried eggs to polony, cheese, sausages, and spicy sauces. Think of it as a cross between a loaded sandwich and a bunny chow — hearty, satisfying, and wildly customizable. Perfect for sharing, or tackling solo when you’re extra hungry!
