When mixed together, the pap adds a certain level of sweetness to the seswaa that you would not get from just eating the seswaa alone. The seswaa is often juicy and delicious!
I had mabele with seswaa and it tasted very good, though I enjoyed the seswaa mixed with pap more.
These mopane worms were made by my landlord. They were cooked, dried out and salted. They reminded me a lot of jerky from back home.
I often get fresh mangos from my landlord’s mango tree that they have on our property.
Seswaa is typically goat meat, and pap is a type of starch similar to rice or porridge. This seswaa had bones that I had to pick out and eat around but some seswaa comes bone-free as well. It just depends on how you make it! I had this dish at Serowe hotel, the restaurant in my village that I mentioned earlier.
As mentioned before, Botswana is a very game-heavy culture, meaning that they eat a lot of meat. So it is typical to see meat in a variety of their dishes, including breakfast.
Mangos can be grown on trees here in Botswana.
