Mystery meat revealed

Last night we had a true Zimbabwean dining experience. We were invited to the home of Miss Nyamande, the head cook at the hospital. All together, there were nine guests in her home.
The dining experience began with Miss Nyamande's helper going around to wash everyone's hands, since the meal is traditionally eaten with the fingers. She started with John Beran, the retired pastor, then myself, then Rita Beran, Michelle because she was married, then the rest. We all got our plates of food in the same order. Ladies first does not apply in this culture.
Miss Nyamande cooks up quite a feast. She served up sadza (better than at the eating house), rape leaves boiled in oil, rape leaves cooked in peanut butter, pumpkin leaves boiled in oil, pumpkin leaves cooked in peanut butter ( my favorite), chicken, beef, maize-on-the-cob ;) , and some kind of meal- I can't remember the name, but it's maize that the grinding mill has stripped the outer yellow layer off of, leaving the white, and then boiling it. Later she served fresh mango, and just-picked peanuts from her garden. We tried boiled and roasted. Yesterday was the very first pick of peanuts, they are just coming on now. After the meal, she served rooibos tea, which is very customary here.
Her house was small, so we all gathered to eat in what we would call the living room. She called it her living quarters, there was no dining room. Just kitchen, living quarters, bedroom, and bathroom.
It was a fun evening of sharing with everyone. There were a lot of questions about Canada, and how much taxes we must because of our public health care. It usually surprises Americans that our taxes are very comparable, and we don't have to pay the extra 1000/month for health insurance!
When we left, she insisted we take a new guava for the road. They are just starting to ripen now. Smells very sweet.
  P.S. For all you farmers, yes, the rape plants LOOK exactly like canola plants (AKA rapeseed) so I'll that for you to investigate. So far I haven't seen the plants flowering, so I think it's a variety of it. The leaves look identical.
