What is Pap?

Pap, also called mielie pap, is a fundamental and traditional food in southern Africa, often made from coarsely ground maize. The Afrikaans term "pap" is derived from Dutch and means "porridge."

Several varieties of pap are popular in the region, such as smooth maize meal porridge (also known as slap pap or soft porridge), thick and firm pap that can be held in hand (stywe pap or firm porridge), and a drier and crumbly phuthu pap (krummelpap in Afrikaans) that is more commonly found in South Africa's coastal areas.

According to Wikipedia, pap is typically served with various savoury dishes, such as green vegetables and chilli. It is a typical breakfast in northern South Africa, consumed with milk, butter, and sugar.

It is often served with meat and tomato stew, which typically includes tomato and onion. When people have a braai (a South African barbecue), they often serve "Stywe" (stiff) pap or Bogobe with a savoury sauce such as tomato and onion or mushroom. Phutu pap is often enjoyed with boerewors, a combination now commonly known as pap en wors (or "pap en vleis"), which can include other braaied or stewed meats.

In the Cape Province of South Africa, pap is primarily consumed as a breakfast food. Since mielie meal is affordable, lower-income individuals often combine it with vegetables. Pap can be served hot or fried after cooling. Phutu porridge is also enjoyed with chakalaka as a side dish during braais.
