Mielie Pap is a native staple. It's basically corn meal porridge. Can be served sweet or savory. Sweet in the morning with sugar and cream or savory as a side dish, usually topped with tamatiesous (a spicy/chunky tomato sauce). Depending on the use and the cook I have seen just about every consistancy from souplike to little cakes. Usually served at a consistancy somewhere between porridge and crumbly. Very tasty and very South African. Akin to polenta.
Lekker!

I spent almost 2 hours in this lounge 2 days ago. I must say that while the menu sounds tempting, I thought the food was pathetic. Maybe they had a bad day with the catering, but the food was really really bad.

What did you choose? I had the African delight and it was really good.
