Umngqusho
Umngqusho is a South African dish based on samp and sugar beans, usually served with hard body chicken which is called umleqwa in isiXhosa. Traditionally a Xhosa staple meal, it has been adopted by other tribes in South Africa as their staple meal as well. This dish is a staple meal for most South African families, referred to as isitambu (stamped corn) by the Zulu people and umngqusho by the Xhosa people.
