=== Cuisine === The national dish is [[seswaa]], pounded meat made from goat meat or beef, or [[Biltong|Segwapa]] dried, cured meat ranging from beef to game meats, either fillets of meat cut into strips following the grain of the muscle, or flat pieces sliced across the grain. Botswana's cuisine shares some characteristics with other cuisine of southern Africa.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Food of Botswana β Traditional Botswana Cuisine |url=https://www.botswana.co.za/Cultural_Issues-travel/food-of-botswana.html |access-date=2024-05-31 |website=www.botswana.co.za |archive-date=6 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230106140404/https://www.botswana.co.za/Cultural_Issues-travel/food-of-botswana.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Examples of Botswana food are: [[bogobe]], [[Ugali|pap]] (maize porridge), [[boerewors]], [[samp]], [[Vetkoek|Magwinya]] and [[mopane worms]]. Bogobe is made by putting sorghum, maize or millet flour into boiling water, stirring it into a soft paste, and cooking it slowly. A dish called ''ting'' is made when milk and sugar is added to fermented sorghum or maize. Ting without the milk and sugar is sometimes eaten with meat or vegetables for lunch or dinner. Another way of making bogobe is to add sour milk and a cooking melon (lerotse). The Kalanga tribe calls this dish ''tophi''. Madila is a traditional fermented milk product similar to [[yogurt]] or [[sour cream]].<ref>{{Citation |title=Microbiome of madila β a southern-african fermented milk product |last1=Ohenhen |first1=Regina |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/315493533 |work=International Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences |volume=2 (2) (2013) 170β175 |pages= |access-date=2023-02-26 |script-title= |publication-date=2013 |author-mask= |last2=Imarenezor |first2=E.P.K |last3=Kihuha |first3=A.N. |archive-date=4 June 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240604180657/https://www.researchgate.net/publication/315493533_Microbiome_of_madila_-_a_southern-african_fermented_milk_product |url-status=live }}</ref>
