The Mandela Burger

“What about, God forbid, a Mandela Burger?   As his legend has grown ever larger, Mandela has been faced with all of these situations. (The Mandela Burger — 200 grams of beef, topped with salad, tomato, cheddar cheese, and accompanied by fries and a choice of guacamole, salsa or jalapeos — costs a whopping $24 at Caf Mandela in Copenhagen.)”
