Bugs, plants, any kind of succuilcents. If in village bread, mabye rice. Early South Africans were mostly hunter-gatherers. They depended on foods such as tortoises, crayfish, coconuts and squash to survive. Biltong, meat that is dried, salted, and spiced (similar to jerky), and beskuits (dried, sweetened biscuits, like zwiebeck or rusks) were popular food among the original pioneers and are both still enjoyed by 21st century South Africans. Dried fruits, eaten whole or ground into a paste, are also popular treats. The practice of modern agriculture was introduced by the Bantu, natives of northern Africa. They taught inhabitants to grow vegetables such as corn ('mealies'), squash and sweet potatoes. Modern Zulu people, most of whom live in north-eastern South Africa, enjoy a soft porridge made from mealie-meal (cornmeal), and dishes combining meat and vegetables such as dried corn and yams. Seafood is plentiful along the country's Atlantic and Indian ocean Coastlines. BUGS THATS OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOL Personal note: during my childhood I heard references to eating insects, but never actually witnessed this. I assume this is a back-reference to a much earlier hunter-gatherer mode of life. City dwellers are probably more likely to pick up a burger these days.
