Regional/Cultural Day
The Hinge Has Been Singing For Months
You hear the sound from the other room before anyone opens it. It wakes the baby every single time someone tries to be quiet. A drop of oil would solve it but the bottle stays hidden.
Regional/Cultural Day
The Water Ratio Is Never Quite Right
You rinse the grains until the water runs completely clear. The pot simmers on the stove while you worry about the texture. Yesterday's leftovers make the best fried meal you have ever eaten.
Regional/Cultural Day
Biltong Day
Botswana biltong is thicker, spicier, and more honest than the South African version and every Motswana will fight you on this. Made from BMC beef, hung in the backyard, and eaten in strips that never last as long as you planned. Every household has a biltong box and every Motswana has hidden biltong from their own family members.

Botswana Fresh Bread Smell Day
A day for bakeries, kitchens, markets, ovens, and the aroma that can turn a street corner into a memory.
