Pro Tip 1/3Cultural Dish
Samp is a traditional food in some African cultures and might not be familiar globally. 
When visiting South Africa, I tried the local samp with a delicious stew.
Pro Tip 2/3Not Popcorn
Don't confuse samp with popcorn; although both come from corn, samp is a ground staple, not a snack. 
I learned to distinguish between popcorn for movies and samp for a hearty meal.
Pro Tip 3/3Cooking Time
Samp takes a while to cook, so it is often prepared in large quantities for family meals. 
Mom started cooking the samp in the morning for our Sunday family dinner.
