Does anyone know where I can find an easy Lesotho recipe?!
I have a report due in a few weeks and for extra info we can bring in a sample of their cuisine and I thought it would be good to bring some in!. I am doing mine on Lesotho, an enclave country in South Africa, and I need something easy that I (a 7th grader) can easily do without having to go get some weird ingredient!.
