A South African woman married to an American man brought Mzansi to his plate when she made him pap and vleis. However, a few confused South Africans on the internet had a few questions about the meal prepared.

Pap and vleis for the win

Content-creating couple Trelly and Olga uploaded a video on their shared TikTok account where the wife proudly showcased what she made. Instead of the usualy meaty pieces, Olga added a chicken stew to the plate, which she still referred to as pap and vleis.

What is pap?

According to the information portal South Africa, pap is maize meal that can either be served stiff, runny, or soft.

Pap (which can be enjoyed with a hearty meaty and vegetable dish) is a staple food in many South African people's homes, including Mzansi's award-winning singer Tyla, who admitted she carried maize meal everywhere she goes.
