The cornmeal-based dietary staple of Zimbabwe is ... the national dish, called sadza. Sadza to the Zimbabweans is like rice to the Chinese, or pasta to Italians. In fact, sadza re masikati, or "sadza of the afternoon" simply means lunch. Sadza re manheru, or "sadza of the evening" means dinner.Sadza is made from cornmeal or maize, and eaten with relish. Relish can be any kind of vegetable stew, but nyama, (meat), such as beef or chicken, is common among families who can afford it. Sadza is cooked slowly until thick, like porridge.
