What Type Of Food Is Eaten In Zambia
Food in Zambia is basically synonymous with nshima, maize porridge, which is the staple food.
Nshima is the staple food for 10 million Zambians.
It is eaten mostly for lunch and dinner.
It is eaten
with a side dish, known as ndiwo, umunani, dende or relish, this must always accompany nshima.
The relish is always a deliciously cooked vegetable, meat, fish, or poultry dish.
By comparison to
other cultures, Zambian recipes tend to be bland and hardly use any hot spices at
Nshima with chicken
all.
We eat rice as well and occasionally also pasta.
Rice is also cultivated in Zambia, especially in the
Western province.
The protein sources vary depending on the time of year and your location, the most common are fish,
sausages, beef, chicken, eggs and beans.
The vegetables are often impwas, okra or some leafy
greens such as pumpkin leaves, rape, and sweet potato leaves.
In comparison to most western diets
the proportion of meat is fairly small.
