A Guide to the Authentic Cuisine of Zimbabwe

Cuisine of Zimbabwe

The cuisine of Zimbabwe reflects both traditional and colonial influences, with Zimbabweans relying heavily on staple foods like cornmeal and locally sourced meats. Food habits from British colonial history form part of the Cuisine Zimbabwe dining experience in Zimbabwe—porridges for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, and afternoon tea prior to the evening meal. An example of a beloved Zimbabwean food is bona, a breakfast porridge made from cornmeal mixed with water and flavoured with butter or peanut butter. Rice with chicken and coleslaw is a common main meal found in the urban areas of the country. Celebratory meals that mark events like weddings and graduations will feature barbecued goat, sheep, or cow shared by the entire family to exemplify the communal spirit central to Cuisine Zimbabwe.
