Samp and beans, also known as isistambu in Zulu and umngqusho among the Xhosa, is a popular Bantu side dish in South Africa. Often considered a comfort food, it is said to be former South African president Nelson Mandela’s favorite dish and is described as a fond childhood memrory by many bloggers whose recipes I used for this post . It can even be bought canned, ready to reheat.
