What+was+their+food?

The Zulus ate sugarcane, sweet potato, maize, pumpkin and watermelon. Maize is a type of corn. These were grown by the women. The men looked after the cattle. They judged their wealth by how many cattle they owned. The cattle were very important to the Zulus. They hardly ever ate cattle meat. They only had this for special occasions. They used the cattle for their milk. //Zahn// Their meals were very simple. They used spoons made of clay and they had a bowl in the middle that they shared from. Their faces and hands were carefully washed before every meal. //Zahn//
