Although Zimbabwe has no coastal border, the two rivers Zambezi and Limpopo offer many freshwater fish such as Nyanga trout, Kariba bream and Kapenta perch. Because Zimbabwe has a lengthy dry winter season, the fish are often dried for preservation. One recipe slow-cooks tender flakes of dried Kapenta with fresh tomatoes and onions and serves it with rice or sadza, a cornmeal or maize porridge. Chicken stew with sadza dumplings is popular. Other meats are grilled or stewed including kudu (antelope), springbok (African gazelle), crocodile, ostrich and warthog. Soups are traditional with varieties such as wild mushroom, game or muboora (pumpkin leaf).

Desserts include candied papaya, sweet potato cookies with a lemon glaze and malva pudding made with apricot jam and served with a rich cream sauce. Local beers are popular such as Whawha, a maize beer. A rock shandy is made with crushed ice, lemon or lime juice, bitters and sparkling water. —Leska Tomash
