While the Khoisan had been curing meat for centuries, European settlers introduced a more sophisticated curing process. The Zulu tribes brought mealie-meal (locally known as pap) to the country along with a diet of meat and vegetables. It was later when the north Africans arrived that they introduced modern agriculture and foods such as corn (locally called mealies), squash and sweet potatoes. It starts with the indigenous people of South Africa, the Khoisan, who were hunter-gatherers. European and African cooking techniques combined with Eastern spices have brought a real melting pot into South African cuisine, quite literally!
The story of South African food is one of blending, borrowing and adapting.
