@jesusredeemedme2425 i'm fro taiwan!! i like 小籠包 (xiao long bao)! it's a dumpling with meat and hot broth inside!!!
This is a South African delicacy, especially among tribes like the Zulus and the Xhosa. It's called pap and mogodu. The pap is made with maize meal, and mogodu is tripe/stomach lining with goat intestines. You tend to find it mostly at family gatherings, such as funerals, weddings, and birthday celebrations. Also historically sold in townships to people like taxi drivers, mine workers, and so on.
