mealie pap

A Kaffir lives on mealie-pap, varied by an occasional cow's head.

"Mealie-pap" without milk was bad enough; minus sugar it was unthinkable.

They consisted of meat and 'mealie-pap' morning, noon, and night, often for weeks without salt.

Even "mealie-pap," ad lib., we had perforce to forego; the "Law" allowed it but once a day.

It lived on a little mealie pap and odd bits of roaster-cakes that were thrown to it as though it were a dog.
