| I am holding what you may regard as a
weed, but to us it is a delicacy. We cook this and combine it with a pap made from mealie meal or with potatoes. It is called Umfino (umfino is a term for wild leaves.) Leaves from the beans plant, beetroot leaves, or sweet potato leaves can also be used to make umfino. Salt and pepper are added to this dish. |

| My mother, Lesha and I prepared a traditional
meal for you. We cooked traditional food such as Umphokoqo, (mielie meal) ,Umfino (green plant found growing wild - like spinach) and Umnqusho (it means a samp) and I cook a traditional meat like Intloko yegusha , amanqina wayo kunye nehagu (it means a head of sheep and their feet) We also cooked Ulusu lwegusha (stewed sheep tripe) this is best served with pap or umngqhusho. (samp and beans) |

| I am a Xhosa and we enjoy eating our
traditional foods.I We cook in a cast iron pot that has three legs. Some of you may find it strange but we love eating sheeps head, tripe and trotters. If you visit our homes we will share the food we have with you. We Xhosa brew a beer from Sorghum and this is enjoyed by the adults |
