What is the national dish of Malawi?
Nsima
What do people in Malawi eat?
The staple food in Malawi is nsima, a thick porridge made from maize (usually field corn) flour and water. The flour is called ufa. In the northern region, many people eat more cassava root than nsima. Rice is also eaten. Rice porridge is a popular breakfast food. The accompaniments to the starches are beans, often cooked in a tomato based sauce, greens, and an onion and tomato based "soup." Chips (potato wedges) are often fried for gatherings. Peas and carrots are very popular. Sweet potatoes are a common dish and are especially delicious when ground nut (peanut) flour is mixed in. Beans are the most common protein as they are inexpensive, but Malawians regularly eat chicken, goat, beef, and lamb or mutton. A very popular street food is mbewa, boiled field mice that are dried in the sun. Vendors sell them on the side of the highway by holding them out on sticks. They're commonly called "mice on a stick" or "malawi sausage."
What kind of food they eat in Zambia?
nsima (corn meal) cooked into a thick paste which you then mold into a ball in the palm of your hand, with a vegetable, chicken either fried or stewed or baked roasted etc or with meat can be beef or pork or maybe even goat. Beef is usually bought from the butchers store by the kilogram, or u can go to a place were they actually slaughter animals usually cows and buy a whole leg or whatever part u desire, get it cut up into smaller pieces if u have the room for it. Others smoke the meat and dry it ahh i miss that! Beans and soyabean are frequently on the table. Nsima is the staple food, rice is grown in the plain of Mongu in the western province, very nice. Sugar is produced in Mazabuka from the sugarcane plantation, high quality for export as well. Fruits mangoes in plentiful from the western province and northwestern province, commercials farmers on the Mkushi farming block grow lots of different fruits on some of Zambias most fertile soil. Breakfast would be something like bread with butter and tea or cereal depending on your social status and financial capability, otherwise due to porverty some people eat porridge from the corn meal "unga" or "ubuunga" with sugar. Theres lots of fruits such as guava, pawpaws,something close to a cantaloupe and many more. There is an abundance of fish in all the province as the Kafue and Zambezi rivers wind up pretty much most of the country. Breams or tilapia as they are also known, tiger fish, bukabuka my favorite and catfish would would grow to as much as the size of a toddler scary!! Some of the fish is then cut up and smoked as dry fish and is something to eat for sure if u dohappen to go to Zambia, nobody makes it like my Mom! or then theres kapenta, which is sardines or baby fishes, these are a delicacy and very nice when eaten fresh. You can eat them dry smoked as well, how can i forget inswa, these are basically flying bugs that come out just before the rains, they are full of proteins and people catch them and put the useless buggers in a basin of water so they can't fly out, then eat them after they have been dried by frying them tasty. Ifinkubala or caterpillars are also another favorite delicasy eaten dry, idon't recommend these, but nobody has died yet from eating them. Our friends fromthe eastern province enjoy mice, which they trap and then cut up and dry smoke them, our friendsin the northern province enjoy the monkeys, i hear the head is especially delicious. then our friends in the western part enjoy whopani or alligator meat, sweet they say, the southerners enjoy mabisi, sour milk, or cultured milk as known by the Americans. Zambians enjoy coca-cola and swear by a cold coca-cola with a mouthful of cavities, fanta, and sprite come in a box cold a crate with 24 bottles. Our beer is the famous Mosi, named after the mosi-o-tunya falls or Victoria falls. I need to go coz iam getting sleepy, hope this is fun reading and is not intended to offend any of my fellow Zambian brothers and sisters. One Zambia One Nation!
