Basotho (people of Lesotho) cuisine features African traditions and British influence.[1] Lesotho is surrounded by South Africa and it shares culinary practices with its neighbor.

Lesotho's food culture features likhobe[2] (a stew with beans, berries, and sorghum), meat, and vegetables. Corn-based dishes include papa[3] and motoho (fermented sorghum porridge).[4][5][6]

Basotho cuisine includes sauces, generally less spicy than other African countries. Beetroot and carrot salads are common side dishes.[1][7]

British desserts can be found.[8]

Other traditional foods include:
