Swaziland and its Cuisine

Swaziland, officially: Umbuso weSwatini; Kingdom of Swaziland ranks amongs one of Africa's smallest nations and is entirely land locked. It is embedded between South Africa and Moambique. The country's largest city is Manzini, it's royal and legislative cpital is Lobamba and its administrative capital is: Mbabane. Swaziland attained independence from Britain on September 6th 1968. The majority of Swaziland's population is ethnic Swazi, mixed with a small number of Zulus and White Africans, mostly people of British and Afrikaner descent. Swazi (also known as SiSwati, Swati or Seswati) is a Bantu language of the Nguni Group spoken in Swaziland and South Africa. It has 1.5 million speakers and is taught in schools. It is an official language of Swaziland (along with English) and one of the official languages of South Africa. The most common religion in Swaziland is Christianity which totals 82.70% of the total population, in which various indigenous African churches constitute the majority, followed quickly by Roman Catholicism. There are also non-Christian religions practised in the country such as Islam: 0.95%, Bahai: 0.5%, and Hinduism: 0.15%.

Swazi cuisine combines native fruit and vegetables with game animals and fish. This country's cuisine is noted by the use of ginger, especially in fish dishes. Swazi cuisine has been more influenced by French cooking techniques than other South African cuisines and this is exemplified by the use of lime juice in cookery as well as the use of garlic and marinades for meat. Outside the cities, however, samp remains the staple of the diet and is often accompanied by stews and sauces. Cornbread is another staple of the diet and often accompanies main meals.
