Its white and soft and a staple food in South Africa. It's Pap. What is a South African blog without the mention of pap?
Pap is a porridge made mainly of maize meal and enjoyed by most South Africans. It's enjoyed in a softer form known as "slap pap" or a thicker consistency known as "stywe pap".

Slap pap is accompanied with milk and sugar and is usually enjoyed as a breakfast.

Stywe pap is enjoyed with meat, gravy
or vegetables, and of course a South African Braai.
