To-do list for Zimbabwe:

Meat is also eaten but not as often. My Zimbabwean girlfriend claims that nowadays, meat is eaten quite often by people in urban areas. The article is a little misleading on this point. -- 211.29.250.52 13:50, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

The whole of this passage needs editing. Some statements are false while others are too generalised. <<>>Like in many African countries, a majority of Zimbabweans depend on staple foods. The most popular, sadza,(CAN ALSO BE MADE FROM RAPOKO,MAPFUNDE,ZWIYO/NJERA,EVEN Wheat or Rice FLOUR)is a white maize (THICK)porridge also known in South Africa as mielies(THIS IS ANOTHER NAME FOR CORN?). The flour used to make sadza can be made into several other flour foods which are eaten all across Africa, the most common being ugali as it is known in Kenya. Sadza would be likely to be served at (THIS IS NOT TRUE)breakfast and ugali at supper(NOT REALLY IN ZIMBABWE). Meat is also eaten but not as often. Usually, during a holiday like Christmas, for example, a goat may be slaughtered and roasted; this is called nyama choma( IN WHICH LANGUABE OR DIALECT). White Zimbabweans(including native zimbabweans as well), like white South Africans, enjoy having a barbecue or braai,often called "gochi-gochi" in(WHICH DIALECT?) shona and has resulted in the proliferation of such places as mereki"(ONLY IN HARARE?)" and ziko" (WHERE?)"where people gather to spend their cash (NOT TRUE REALLY PEOPLE DO NOT JUST GATHER TO SPEND THEIR CASH) with friends which will often include mielies( PLEASE EDIT THIS SENTENCE FOR A CLEARER SENSE).>hakaponi@sympatico.ca>><<
