Namibia
Namibia’s food is built around kapana street beef, mahangu millet porridge and game meat meet German baking and southern African braai traditions. Look for Kapana (flame-grilled beef strips sold sizzling at open markets with chili salt), Oshifima (stiff pearl-millet mahangu porridge, Owambo staple) and Windhoek Lager (clean pale lager brewed to malt, hops, water and yeast alone). Strips of beef grilled over open fires at Windhoek’s Katutura single quarters market and eaten straight off the grill with chili salt.
