For those of you who don't know the Northern Namibian cuisine, 'oshifima' is a thick 'porridge' made with home grown, home pounded millet (for the best). 'Evanda' is made from wild spinach, dried and pressed into cakes, which last through the seasons where not much else is available. I was told it is often used for people going on journeys, for sustenance. It is softened with water and cow butter (home made) is added when it is the consistency of cooked spinach. MMmmmm! Another wonderful dish is millet porridge made with fresh milk and some sugar. Of course for snacks, eembe (bird plum/mountain date) is a beautiful, sustaining fruit, picked from wonderful, old trees. It has keeping qualities when powdered with ??? My friends from the North please add more! My favourite Namibian dish is oshifima with evanda.
