'''Pap''' {{IPAc-en|ˈ|p|ɑː|p}}, also known as '''mieliepap''' ([[Afrikaans]] for maize porridge) in [[South Africa]], is a traditional [[porridge]]/[[polenta]] made from [[mielie-meal]] (ground [[maize]]) and a [[staple food]] of the [[Bantu peoples|Bantu]] inhabitants of [[Southern Africa]] (the [[Afrikaans]] word ''pap'' is taken from [[Dutch language|Dutch]] and simply means "[[porridge]]"). Many traditional Southern African dishes include pap, such as smooth maize meal porridge (also called ''[[slap pap]]'' or soft porridge), pap with a very thick consistency that can be held in the hand (''stywe pap'' or firm porridge) and a more dry crumbly [[phuthu]] pap. Phuthu dishes are usually found in the coastal areas of South Africa. |
|||
A variety of [[savoury (small dish)|savouries]] can be used to accompany pap, made from [[green vegetable]]s, and flavoured with [[Chili pepper|chilli]]. |
|||
Afrikaners in the northern parts of South Africa eat it as [[breakfast]] staple, with [[milk]], butter and [[sugar]], but also serve it with [[meat]] and [[tomato]]-stew (usually tomato and [[onion]]) at other meals, When they are having a [[braai]], ''stywe pap'' or phutu pap with a savoury sauce like tomato and onion or mushroom and cheese is an important part of the meal. |
|||
In the [[Cape]] province of South Africa it is almost exclusively seen as a breakfast food. Since mielie-meal is inexpensive, poor people combine it with [[vegetables]]. It can be served hot or, after it has cooled, it can be [[Frying|fried]]. Phutu porridge is sometimes enjoyed with [[chakalaka]] as a side dish with [[braai]]s. |

Pap is also called '''[[ugali]]''' in eastern and some parts of southern Africa; In [[Zimbabwe]] amongst the [[Shona people|Shona]] speaking people it is called ''' [[sadza]] ''' and amongst the [[Northern Ndebele people|Ndebele]] it is called '''[[isitshwala]]''' ; '''[[nsima]]''' in [[Zambia]] and [[Malawi]]; phaletshe in [[Botswana]] and '''banku''' in West Africa. |
|||
In [[Nigeria]], it is called [[akamu]] amongst the [[Igbo people|Igbo]] and [[ogi (cereal ferment)|ogi]] amongst the [[Yorubas]] with a consistency similar to American pudding. Ogi/Akamu in Nigeria is generally accompanied with "[[moin moin]]" a [[bean]] [[pudding]] or "[[akara]]" which is a [[bean]] [[cake]]. A similar dish is [[polenta]], from northern [[Italy]]. In the [[United States]] a similar dish is known as [[grits]]. The primary difference between the US and the Southern African dishes is that in the US the [[maize]] (or corn) used is a yellow kernel maize, whereas in South Africa maize is especially grown for human consumption with white kernels, allowing the whole kernel to be used for the maize meal. |

Dishes similar to pap include [[isidudu]], [[uphuthu]], [[umpokoqo]] and [[umngqusho]]. |
