Bogobe jwa Lerotse

What we know so far

Bogobe is the Setswana word for porridge, and bogobe jwa lerotse is the version cooked with lerotse, a pale cooking melon that grows across Botswana. The melon is boiled down first, then sorghum meal is whisked in and sour milk folded through at the end. The result is a soft, slightly sweet, slightly sour porridge that is eaten at weddings and at breakfast alike, and it is often named as a national dish beside seswaa.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
