ZAMBIA DINING

The staple food in Zambia is similar to that of most other African countries: ground maize meal. In Zambia it�s called nshima and is often accompanied by tomato relishes, chicken or dried fish.

In terms of meat you�ll find beef, lamb and goat on the menu. Traditional meal accompaniments include beans, pumpkin, okra, yams and rice.

Restaurants at resorts and hotels that cater to international guests often include less traditionally African meals, but if you want a proper dining experience you should try ifinkubala � Mopani caterpillars � they are quite the delicacy in Zambia.
