Cuisine of Lesotho

Basotho (people of Lesotho) cuisine features African traditions and British influence.

[1] Lesotho is surrounded by South Africa and it shares culinary practices with its neighbor.

Lesotho's food culture features likhobe[2] (a stew with beans, berries, and sorghum), meat, and vegetables.

Corn-based dishes include papa[3] and motoho (fermented sorghum porridge).

[4][5][6] Basotho cuisine includes sauces, generally less spicy than other African countries.
