Pap can refer to any porridge, not just porridge of the indigenous style and thus should be merged & redirected with it. 137.215.9.20 (talk) 07:47, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- I disagree. No one in South Africa goes around calling oat porridge 'pap'. 219.164.140.125 (talk) 12:23, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone who speaks Afrikaans will know that "pap" means porridge. Mieliepap is a specific thing; pap is general. For example, if I say: "eet jou pap," few people will interpret it as meaning "eat your mieliepap." The term can apply to anything from cornflakes to oats. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Larzsolice (talk • contribs) 23:23, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See: Ugali. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:23, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Very similar in that they are made from the same ingredients but there are regional differences in the final dish and large differences in the accompaniments and serving. This article needs some writing and editing to highlight the various local customs and traditions with supporting references.

Specifically the photo of the Ugali and cabbage needs to be replaced as is NOT the traditional South African pap. I will work on this over the next few weeks. &Brew 09:17, 6 August 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andbrew.downes (talk • contribs)

Indeed, one of my enduring memories of food living in RSA as a child is Boerewors and pap. --Nozzer71 (talk) 19:19, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Entymology

So is this where the phrase "swallow [this] pap" comes from (usu. referring to something objectionable, such as lies or bland entertainment)? --The_Iconoclast (talk) 20:30, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
