What do South African people eat for lunch?

Answer 1

People in South Africa eat pretty much the same food types that other people in the world eat.

There are local/ traditional dishes which have evolved and acquired a "local" flavour: Malay and Indian curries, "pap and wors" (sausage with a stiff porriage), "braaivleis" (similar to BBQ), "biltong" (dried meat like jurkee), various types of locally blended sausages, samp & beans etc..

As South Africa is a farming country the diet is biased towards this: vegetables, fruit, grain, meat (red and white), fish and milk products

Location within South Africa also determines what produce is more freely available: rural areas have access to more agricultural products, where urban areas there is a mixture of fresh agriculture and processed foods; coastal areas have access to fresh fish.

South Africa exports and imports food from all over the world.

Contrary to popular belief, most people in South Africa simply don't go out and kill a giraffe whenever they are hungry! Most wild life is relegated to large, managed game parks, and poaching is a criminal offence.

The food service industry (in general) is fairly well regulated, as is the supply chain that delivers produce to the markets. For this reason very little unregulated poached or "bush meat" is delivered to central areas for consumption (unlike certain areas of central Africa, where this is still a traditional resource.

Answer 2

South Africans eat the most comprehensive list of foods in the world. This is because people from all parts of the world came here bringing with them their own cultures, which still exist today. We have had European settlers, Indians, Malaysians, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Indian,Chinese, Japanese and of course, the original inhabitants, Africans.

Typical South Afrcan food ranges from biltong to worms in some cultures.

Answer 3

Early South Africans were mostly hunter-gatherers. They depended on foods such as tortoises, crayfish, coconuts, and squash to survive. Bil tong , meat that is dried, salted, and spiced (similar to jerky), and biscuits (dried sweetened biscuits, like zwieback or rusks) were popular food among the original pioneers and are both still enjoyed by twenty-first 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 northeastern South Africa, enjoy a soft porridge made from mealie-meal (cornmeal), and dishes combining meat and vegetables such as dried corn and yams.
