Vetkok Uncovered: The Deep-Fried Heritage of South Africa

In this episode of The Deep Dive, we explore vetkok — South Africa's beloved fried dough — its Dutch origins, trek-era resilience, and the pan-South African appeal that gave it many names like amagwinya and ikafa. We trace its journey from olliebolen to a versatile handheld, from sweet jams to curried mince fillings, and even tackle the online debate: is vetkok a sandwich? Join us for a culture-rich bite-sized history, plus practical at-home tips to craft your own Vetkok adventures.
