Talk:Botswanan Cuisine/@comment-208.123.181.119-20100420190426

I lived in Botswana for 8 years, and found a LOT of the information on this page to be totally WRONG!! For one thing, I have NEVER seen lamb there, and neither is chicken the meat of choice, or ham. It is definitely beef - cattle growing is one of the main things they do, and what their wealth comes from. Also I've never seen okra, and there is NOT an infinite variety of vegetables there.

I have been to traditional weddings, funerals, and other celebrations in villages with my friends, and the food is NOT as described here. Special equipment to cook?? Are you serious? A big black 3 legged pot over a fire is the main thing - all those extras are certainly not used by the people that live there. I don't think there is even a word "Botswanan". The people of Botswana are called "Batswana". One person from Botswana is a "Motswana". If you're going to have a website about a place, you really should do more research or talk to people that have actually spent some time there!!
