In Namibia, Christmas dinner usually consists on grilled red meat accompanied by a kind of porridge called pap.
There is the recipe for Mielie pap:
500 ml water 3 ml salt 700 ml maize meal (mielie)
Bring the water to the boil and add the salt. Add the maize meal until it forms a little mount in the middle. Cover and allow to simmer until a skin has formed around the maize meal. Then, stir with a fork until you get a crumbly consistency. Put the lid back on and very gently simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. Stir from time to time to break the lumps.
