Mutton and chicken are also present in sizeable amounts and are both incorporated in the Batswana’s diet.

There are many local meat dishes in Botswana, a popular example of which is Seswaa or Chotlho, meat softened in boiling water with salt added as the only other ingredient. Another well-known dish is the Serobe, with intestines and other internal organs of goat, sheep or cow. In addition, there is a porridge called Bogobe, made from slowly cooked paste of millet, maize or sorghum flour. The dish can be part of main meals when consumed with meat and vegetables
