Zambia Cuisine

Zambia’s isolation and richly endowed natural resources have kept the country’s cuisine very traditional, unique, and very tasty. Zambian cuisine is known for its authenticity and use of indigenous ingredients, though like elsewhere in Africa, some of the ingredients and foods may not sit well with Western palates. In particular, caterpillars and mice—the latter of which is considered a delicacy—are commonly served with a staple of Zambian food: Nshima, a cooked porridge made from maize. A typical Zambia food and drink pairing includes Munkoyo, a traditional beverage found all over the country from the cities to the villages. It’s made from a mixture of maize meal and the dried and shredded roots of the Munkoyo tree
