Cuisine in Botswana is varied because of the difference in soil and weather conditions. There are areas which receive ample amounts of rain. These areas typically produce dishes with crops as their ingredients. On the other hand, there are also regions which are note gifted with precipitation enough to make the simplest crop survive. These regions usually have meat obtained from hunting as the staple food. Due to this, Botswana's national flavor is never a single powerful taste but a blend of many different palates.
Some of the dishes that visitors shouldn't miss when coming to Botswana are pap, some kind of porridge made from corn, samp or dried kernels stamped and chopped, and vetkoek, a traditional African pastry. There is also Lerotse, the Botswana term for melon, which is a popular dessert in the country and magwinya, which are fat cakes.
