PAP, JUST PAP

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.

Here's a fav pap recipe:

Ingredients:
1 litre water
1/2 tsp salt
+/- 2 cups maize meal(depending on the consistency you prefer)

Method:
1. Add salt to the water and boil.
2. Add maize meal and stirr wel using a wooden spoon.
3. Reduce the heat to low and allow to cook for about an hour.

Note: You may add some butter or margarine to your pap. Add it to the water or add in with the maize meal.

Ta-da! There you have it! A pot of pap, all u need now is some wors and a braai stove!

SANIBONANI SOUTH AFRICA- WELCOME TO MY CITY PART 2

A few months ago I promised a part two of the "Welcome to my city" post. Here goes ☺

A blanket of stars almost always cloaks us, our equivalent to the city light that shine so bright.
Traffic jams are not of concern, instead we wait at stop-streets for donkey carts to take their turns.

Weekends are spent bundu-bashing, in search of new adventures. With trucks and cows and mountains and rivers on the way, its easy to get a little dazed. Fishing is a big sport, attracting tourist too. A perfect weekend would be spent with friends & family in a cozy camping site set up by us all. There's nothing more fitting for lunch than potjie-kos and pap, or a fish braai.

So for a renewal of the mind, body and soul, come down to my Farm Town and experience what I do, Everyday ☺
