The Voortrekkers, Dutch-speaking settlers in South Africa during the Great Trek in the 1830s and 1840s, primarily relied on a diet of meat, including game they hunted, cattle, and sheep. They also consumed staple foods such as maize, mealies, and potatoes, which they grew or obtained from local communities. Bread made from wheat or maize flour was common, along with milk and dairy products from their livestock. Foraging and trading with indigenous peoples also contributed to their diet.
