This is a South African thing and most South Africans love it.... we
have a lot of Dutch/German/Portuguese - you name it - influence
here.... We get a lot of Indian food too. Durban (one of the port
cities) has a huge Indian population and they have introduced all sorts
of great food as well. Not to mention all the real African foods... One
of the staples is maize meal - its made into porridge (pap) of various
consistencies... sometimes it is made into something that could be
similar to "grits"... Pap is eaten with various meat stews, sauces,
chilis (sp?) and vegetables....
