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]

Redirects

Many different spelt versions for Koe'sister exist, would it be possible for someone to help create the redirects? Examples include Koesister, Koeksisters, Koe'sisters

Image

An image will make the difference between a koeksister and koe'sister clear, could someone add an image? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deanerasmus2006 (talk • contribs) 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]
