Basotho (people of Lesotho) cuisine features African traditions and British influence.[1] Lesotho is surrounded by South Africa and it shares culinary practices with its neighbor. Lesotho's food culture features potato, seafood[citation needed], rice and vegetables. Corn based dishes include mealie pap, a maize porridge. There are also stews made with peanuts[citation needed]. British desserts can be found. Basotho cuisine tends to include sauces, but is generally less spicy than other African countries. Beetroot salad is a common side dish.[1]
