Seswaa (Botswana)


Seswaa, also known as chotlho, is Botswana's national dish consisting of meat on the bone (usually beef) that's slow-cooked in salted water. Once the meat has been cooked, it is pounded with large wooden pestles, then served over pap.


Seswaa is usually prepared by men due to the physical extortion during the preparation process, since the meat is cooked in traditional, three-legged pots (called potjie) over an open fire. Lamb or goat meat can be used instead of beef, although beef is the most popular option in Botswana.


Seswaa is almost always served on special occasions, weddings, and during the country's celebration of the independence day.

Mimoza is a traditional Russian salad. It's prepared by layering different ingredients, and each one is separated by a light layer of mayonnaise. The ingredients include canned and mashed fish such as tuna, mackerel, salmon, or trout, boiled egg whites and yolks, onions, crumbled cheese, and sometimes boiled potatoes and carrots.
