Pap /ˈpɑːp/ also known as mieliepap in South Africa is a traditional porridge / polenta made from mielie-meal (ground maize) and a staple food of the Bantu inhabitants of Southern Africa (the Afrikaans word pap is taken from Dutch and simply means porridge). Many traditional Southern African dishes include pap such as smooth maize meal porridge (also called slap pap) pap with a very thick consistency that can be held in the hand (stywe pap) and a more dry crumbly phutu pap.
