Isitsha esongwa ngamahlamvu kabhanana bese siphekwa kuhhavini womhlaba, sinikeze ukunambitheka kwentuthu kanye nephunga elimnandi. Ezinye izitsha zokudla zasemgwaqweni ezidumile zihlanganisa ukudla kwasolwandle okugazingiwe, i-“keke pua'a” (amabhanisi engulube), kanye “ne-panikeke” (ama-donuts athosiwe).
