    I think green lentils are meant to be good with either white fish or salads.

    white maize meal i think you make bready types things with like dumplings for your stews or i believe you can make a porridge with it. Sorry not sure of recipes though.

    If you like polenta you could make up the white maize meal the same way.

    Mealie meal is eaten as a staple food (cooked as stywe pap, putu or krimmelpap) in Africa and is yummy with a nice spicy tomato and onion sauce with it. It's also the same thing as grits which is eaten in America.
