I see that this page is classified with desserts. As an Afrikaner gustator, I should say that I have never seen vetkoek eaten as dessert. Like askoek and roosterkoek, it is not a cake, but rather a bread.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Niel Malan (talkcontribs)

Amagwinya

[edit]

This word "Amagwinya" should be noted as a synonym for Vetkoek. The description here is an interesting but not significant (to justify its own section) description of how Vetkoek is eaten among other cultural groups in South Africe, this section is also unreferenced and should not be treated as a separate section. Can anyone make a suggestion on what we can do with the interesting but not relevant information?

Re the statement that "Amagwinya is never filled" - One author noted that Amagwinya is never filled and show this as an argument around why their is a significant difference between Vetkoek and Amagwinya. A recent incident in the news where three children died after buying Amagwinya filled with polony shows differently, and that they are indeed filled in some cases, in this article Amagwinya is replaced with the word Vetkoek as they are synonyms http://ewn.co.za/2017/08/31/3-teens-die-after-eating-vetkoek

South African vs Afrikaner vs African

[edit]

Vetkoek forms part of the traditional Afrikaner culinary heritage, and since the Afrikaner population is endemic beyond the borders of South Africa (ex Namibia) the reference to this being a South African food sort is confusing. We can classify it as African?

References

[edit]

Renata Coetzee wrote an excellent academic book that specify the origin of many Afrikaner dishes. Other references is needed that are more academic and researched based — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deanerasmus2006 (talkcontribs) 07:12, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
