Talk:Zimbabwean Cuisine

This article is highly exaggerated. Zim food is very simple. Most people cook with two pots and a wooden spoon. A typical midday or evening meal includes sadza (a stiff white maize meal porridge) and vegetables (cabbage-like) cooked in oil or peanut butter with at tomato. Meat is a luxury and preferred 'tough' by 'western standards'. it will be grilled (barbecued over an open fire) or fried in a pan. Beans and sweet potatoes are alternatives to this simple fare. A number of fruits such as mangos and guavas grow readily and are eaten raw.

Breakfast might be a similar sadza served with sugar or sour milk.

The breakdown of appetizer, desert etc is a feature of tourist hotels only.

Having said this, Zim food is fun and usually eaten in a party-like atmosphere. The culture is hospitable to friends and strangers alike and food is shared generously.

Exotic items might include offal and insects such as flying ants.
