In addition to the enchanting scenery, savoring local flavors is an essential part of any journey to South Africa. A typical representative dish of South African cuisine is potjiekos. Potjiekos is a type of stew that consists of a rich variety of ingredients, primarily meats and vegetables, layered and cooked in a round cast-iron pot over a charcoal fire. This cooking method can be traced back to the 16th century and is a quintessential example of South African cuisine, rivaling the ever-popular South African barbecue.

In northeastern China, there is also a delightful dish that boasts an abundance of ingredients and an exquisite taste. Luandun, which directly translates as "mixed stew," is a traditional dish celebrated for its diverse range of ingredients and unique stewing techniques. It combines a variety of meats and vegetables – from pork, beef, lamb and chicken to potatoes, carrots and radishes – with tofu.
