Funny thing this Africa...
There is an institution called the Pan African Parliament (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-African_Parliament).
They meet every so often to discuss various issues (and pour praises on Mugabe), drink a lot, eat too much, and cause chaos on the highway with their motorcades, don't pay their levies, piss off for another 3 - 6 months. The idea is that eventually they will create a United States of Africa / African Union - very original these guys.
Anyway, the reason why I mention this is that they go by the acronym PAP - even the chick on the TV news, and one on the radio uses the acronym. Now why is this funny / strange, well, because the staple diet of 100 million starving / undernourished Africans is... yea, pap!!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pap_%28food%29
It's made of ground maize (white) and water, and is probably best described as a close relative to the Italian - Polenta.
Say no more....
