Reminiscing Mondays: Scrumptious Botswana food

Anyone who's lived in Botswana would agree with this: Botswana cuisine is amazing!! Here are some pictures to prove this point:

One of the reasons I loved the food in the Botswana was because I love carbs, and that's a huge component of Botswana food. Rice, pap, samp, fatcakes (pictured below), bogobe, and more!

Seswaa, a salty meat dish was one of my faves. You could eat it with almost anything: from rice to samp, to fat cakes, you name it.

And this is what pap looks like. Pap is to Botswana what garri/fufu is to West Africa. Get my point?
