　3rd explain the food of your country/the choice of recipe. & The popular food situation.

The food in Swaziland is mainly composed of meal and corn because Swaziland is landlocked country. Also the part Swaziland locate is very hot, so rice we eat everyday in Japan can not be cultivated. 

Majority race in Swaziland is Swazi, and their traditional cuisine is stew of meat, corn meal, grilled corn and marinated fish with tomato and chili pepper. 

　The reason why I chosen morn meal recipe is that it is rare in Japan and unique to the region Swaziland locate. In japan our staple diet is rice. And although wheat has been eaten gradually recent years, corn is thought to be  side dish or confectionery. But in contrast, Corn is main diet in Swaziland and rice is hardly eaten in that country. So I thought it must be chance to understand the difference  of food culture between Japan and Swaziland if I search the recipe made from corn.

　Popular food situation in Swaziland seems not to be different from Japan. Eat diet with whole family surrounding the table. And many food or side dishes are sold in markets. So I thought that food situation is not different around the world even if no matter how different the cuisine is.
