Mealie Pap

Pap, a traditional porridge made from mielie-meal (ground maize or other grain), is a staple food of the Bantu inhabitants of South Africa.

Pap, a traditional porridge made from mielie-meal (ground maize or other grain), is a staple food of the African inhabitants of South Africa(the Afrikaans word "pap" is taken from Dutch and simply means "porridge" or "gruel").

Many traditional South African dishes include pap, such as smooth maize meal porridge (also called slap pap), and crumbly "phutu" (pronounced "poo-too") pap.

Since mielie-meal is inexpensive, poor people can afford to combine it with vegetables and be sure of one good meal a day. It can be served hot or, after it has cooled, it can be fried, giving it a different texture.
