Seswaa Day

The national dish and the hill every Motswana will die on. Beef boiled for hours until it falls apart, then pounded with a wooden pestle until it shreds into pure meat seasoned with nothing but salt and patience. The best seswaa is always made at a funeral or wedding because those cooks have nothing but time and a whole cow.

Products of Caribbean Netherlands Day

You recognize that Caribbean Netherlands (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba) produces distinctive sea salt from Bonaire's solar salt ponds and locally-crafted goods, with limited mass-market brands originating from these islands. You know that these islands are better known as sources of Caribbean agricultural products and tourism experiences than as origins of global consumer brands.
