Packed with plenty of carbohydrates is the nation’s staple dish which is called Nshima. Though in appearance, the dish can be more of a paste, it is in fact far more solid than your average bowl of porridge as it is made from a mealie meal (cornmeal) which is a type of corn grown in these parts. In terms of preparation, the cornmeal is mixed well with water and brought to boil accordingly. During the course of this stage, additional cornmeal is included until a thick consistency is reached. Habitually accompanied with fish or meat together with vegetables, Nshima is traditionally eaten with your hands. However, if you find yourself seated at any of the Livingstone Zambia restaurants belonging to Royal Livingstone Hotel by Anantara, then you may resort to using a fork and knife.
