📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Ting is a fermented sorghum porridge eaten in Botswana: sorghum flour is mixed with water, fermented for several days, and cooked into a tangy porridge. It's eaten for breakfast with milk or sugar, or with seswaa. Its fermented sourness is the hallmark of this traditional taste.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a morning in a Botswana home, milk and sugar are poured over steaming bowls of sour porridge as the family spoons it up.
