South African cuisine is a vibrant fusion of flavors and influences, reflecting the country's diverse cultural heritage. It combines indigenous ingredients with culinary traditions from Dutch, Indian, Malaysian, and British settlers. Popular dishes include bobotie, a spiced minced meat baked with an egg-based topping, and biltong, a type of cured meat. The use of maize, known locally as "mielie," is common, often served as pap, a porridge-like staple. South Africa is also known for its braai, a social barbecue event featuring grilled meats. The cuisine is characterized by its bold flavors, aromatic spices, and a mix of sweet and savory elements.
