Zulu beliefs are formed around the presence of ancestral spirits. Ancestors' presence comes in the form of dreams, sickness and snakes. Opportune times to communicate with ancestors are during birth, puberty, marriage and death.

Contact with ancestors are made to ask them for blessings, good luck, fortune, guidance and assistance. Ancestors are implored through offerings and sacrifices. Home-brewed beer and slaughtering animals are some of the common forms of offerings. Bad luck is considered to be the work of an evil spirit and to rid with the issue a traditional healer, known as a sangoma, communicates to the spirit with the help of prayer and herbs. On most of the websites I have checked out some of the most traditional foods are. They have a lot of fruits and vegetables that are not found elsewhere. They tend to eat communally with a few families they also tend to us 3 large legged pots. Most of the time the food is cooked by open flame. Many Zulu people eat farmed products and pumpkin. They have a history of foraging native foods such as umfino wild spinach amadumbe cassava and Jew's mallow. The porridge is regularly served at a 3 legged at a community Zulu village. Some of the more popular kinds of Porridge that are served are butter bean-based iphalishi, sour milk-based iphalishi elimuncu and pumpkin-based isijeza. Other favorites are a crumbly corn porridge called phutu and curries borrowed from Indian colonial influences.

Native vegetables found at meals are amadumbe, cassava, blackjack, cleome, morogo and umfino. Within Zulu culture, there is a special food called amazi that is created by each individual family. Milk is added to a basket or gourd and set aside to curdle. Like cottage cheese, the curds are separated from the whey and consumed. The amazi gourd is never cleaned, and is refilled immediately when it is emptied. The fact that it is not cleaned lends to the distinct taste of the amazi. Which sounds very nasty to me.The beer and the fruit.Zulu culture distinct beer-making traditions include using the native mobola plum, sorghum and maize. Women brew the beer by steeping the fruit or grains for a whole day over an open fire in a special beer-making semi-thatched hut. The mash mixture cools for another day until it is ready to be strained and served. The Native fruits grow plentifully in Zulu territories, and is eaten fresh as a part of daily meals. Some of the fruits have seeds that are used as nuts or for oil, including the marula and mobola plum. The mobola plum has seeds that are considered to be a substitute for almonds.

Other common fruits in the area are red milkwood, wild medlar, num-num, kei apple and the monkey orange. Most of these fruits I have never heard of but they sound pretty interesting.

The roasted meat is served in large, rectangular wooden pans called ugqoko Livestock animals eaten include goats some chickens some cows some sheep and some pigs Livestock is seen as wealth in Zulu culture and all parts of the animal are consumed Hunted meat and fish such as buffalo kudu and waterbuck are also a large part of the Zulu diet.Now it time for my favorite the Dessert.

It can be topped with a sauce made from chocolate, prunes and cream.

Other desserts found at Zulu meals include melk terts, dried fruit leathers, fried dough koeksisters and spice cookies. This dessert didn't sound very good but I would like to try it one day.
