Talk:Koe'sister

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Confusion around Koe'sisters and Koeksisters are inherent because of the close spelling of the name, although the two version are distinctly different. Creating a Koe'sister page and moving references of this Cape Malay version here will help readers better understand these African dishes and their differences better.

Koe'sister - a soft ball of yeast cake rolled in coconut, eaten for breakfast
Koeksiter - a crunchy plaited doughnut steeped in syrup and eaten as a dessert

A wonderful comparison can be found on this blog: http://loca.lizeme.com/koesister-vs-koeksister/

Is there really a difference in spelling, or was the spelling distinction used post hoc to distinguish between the two recipes? I recall having koeksisters (long and braided) with coconut growing up, which would make them a hybrid between koeksisters and koe'sisters, which indicates that the distinction is something that has been invented recently, and is not clear-cut ...WP:RS required, preferably predating the Wikipedia articles. Google doesn't show any results prior to 2009 distinguishing between the terms. Park3r (talk) 12:55, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Image

[edit]

An image will make the difference between a koeksister and koe'sister clear, could someone add an image? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deanerasmus2006 (talkcontribs) 13:02, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Coincidentally, I actually took a picture of one almost exactly a year before your comment asking for a picture for use on Wikipedia. --Discott (talk) 15:06, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
