Samp

Pro Tip 1/3

Cultural Dish

Samp is a traditional food in some African cultures and might not be familiar globally.

When visiting South Africa, I tried the local samp with a delicious stew.

Pro Tip 2/3

Not Popcorn

Don't confuse samp with popcorn; although both come from corn, samp is a ground staple, not a snack.

I learned to distinguish between popcorn for movies and samp for a hearty meal.

Pro Tip 3/3

Cooking Time

Samp takes a while to cook, so it is often prepared in large quantities for family meals.

Mom started cooking the samp in the morning for our Sunday family dinner.
