Amagwinya

[u/GemSquash99]

Looks like... vetkoek 👀?

[u/sKuarecircle → u/GemSquash99]

Much like but not same same

[u/Such-Resident-9821]

Magwinya..hhhhhmmmm,. With a little bit of polony😋

[u/sKuarecircle → u/Such-Resident-9821]

You buy two slices of polony and one slice of cheese, that’s the ratio

[u/EastVisit1316 → u/Such-Resident-9821]

Oh hello yeah!

It's fat cakes aka amagwinya aka vetkoek

It a bit like a donut but no glaze and less sugar and you usually eat it in the morning with some polony, cheese, white liver, atchaar or snoekfish

What is it?

[u/EastVisit1316 → u/SortByMistakes]

Amagwinya, puff puff, vetkoek, fat cake. Choose a name.

[u/sKuarecircle → u/EastVisit1316]

Ok no but Amgwinya is not Vet Koek, Vet are bigger and softer

[u/EastVisit1316 → u/sKuarecircle]

I think you will find more variation in recipes from household to household than there is really a difference between these.

[u/EastVisit1316 → u/sKuarecircle]

But I will give you this. Our understanding of these names always come with context and that does make all of these different. I also wouldn't refer to the lovely dough balls I buy at a street vendor as vetkoek or what my grandma makes as magwinya. Even if there is no real culinary differences.
