Botswana on the table

The cuisine is one of the most interesting things to know about Botswana. The country has a wide range of cuisines available, from Italian to Chinese, and many locals eat these dishes, but most prefer to cook traditional dishes. Traditionally, the main meal is eaten at lunchtime, with leftovers or bread and tea served at dinner. Botswana's national dish is called Seswaa. It's a meat stew served with thick polenta or pap. Meat is boiled with onion and pepper to make the stew.

After two hours of cooking, the meat is shredded and seasoned with salt. The thick maize meal is then sprinkled on top. Morogo, a leafy green, is frequently served with it. This food comes from a country where many people were impoverished and meat was regarded as a luxury item. The dish is fairly bland and should appeal to more conservative eaters. Goat meat, which is frequently stewed, is the second most popular meat after beef. Chicken is also widely consumed, with many families raising their own.

Botswana cuisines are heavily influenced by British culture, as a result of previous colonization. Breakfast in the morning is typically English, as is the afternoon tea custom. However, while in Botswana, you should try meat, particularly wild game, antelope, ostrich, or kudu cooked as roast beef. There are also some excellent South African wines.
