In South Africa we don't measure seasonings. We just sprinkle & shake until we hear the spirits of our ancestors whisper "Enough my child". This goes for any culture or race group in SA.

[@athyjudy5682]

🤣🤣I was shocked when someone asked me for the measurements of the seasonings, like huh, I don't even measure salt. I just look at the amount of food/sauce in the pot and I just know how much salt will be enough. I even taste to make sure it's to taste

Corn comes in different colours, predominantly white, yellow and red…..Southern African Countries esp South Africa, Zambia , ZImbabwe, and Botswana prefer the white one and is a staple because it grows quickly and has a neutral taste which makes it easy to combine with any side you can think of.

Chutney is a sweet sauce, nothing close to Jam. Jam is for bread.

[@ingridfranklin9579]

That jam mixture on the fish…you don’t know what you’re missing!!! It’s delicious!!!! And the malva pudding is nothing like cornbread at all.

[@paulkekana7447]

[@naledivimbani]

We have both yellow and white. Yellow is the original and white is made from white maize that is mainly fast growing and doesnt take longer like the yellow maize.

[@MosesMatsepane]

They tried to push the yellow maize meal in the 90s and most people didn't like it, it was too coarse and the local market didn't respond well to it. It was also seen as a low-status version of the white maize meal.

[@HeleenHenstock]

The yellow maize meal we had was because the crops of the white maize largely failed. Yellow maize is mostly fed to cattle for the meat market.

[@nobuhlendlangamandla4943]

And its sweet which is a turn off

[@bokamadlela976]

We only had ubhokide because there was a drought sometimes in the 90s...and only yellow was available cos farms mostly store it...and there was no white maize growing

[@MosesMatsepane]

@@bokamadlela976 Interesting, I didn't know that was the reason. Thanks.

[@neoolivier361]

Yep that's true, so I am working in the grain industry and Yellow Maize YM1 is for bought for animal feed her in SA.

[@Pyxe_ZA]

NGL, I also learned something new today. I honestly never knew monkey gland sauce is South African 🤯. And about the Amarula. You can have it on dessert instead of custard, over ice cream, on crushed ice, on it's own as a shot, or as an ingredient in a famous South African dessert called malva pudding. My wife actually got us a bottle yesterday "black Friday stuff" ,😅

[@acelovesdiyschristopher7023]

Or in a springbokkie 😂

[@ianbeddowes5362]

Try Amarula milk shake, a double shot in a long glass, a dollop of vanilla ice cream and topped up with full fat ice cold milk.

[@misstdkmnguni3636]

He called tomato gravy Chakalaka. That’s wrong because the real Chakalaka is made of carrots,beans,peppers and chillies.

[@reejay9023]

It was chakalaka go check the original video

[@itumelengodusanya603]

Chutney is not jam. It's sweet and sour and spicy. Snoek is a very very very salty fish. That's why the two are good combination

[@JCdevoss]

Amarula is such a delicious creamy liqueur. You can shot it, but I love having it over ice cream or on the rocks (ice). We also use it in Irish coffee as well.

[@fishdawn1804]

The morula fruit grows all over predominantly in South Africa and Botswana. Most of these morula trees grow in the backyards of most households and of course in the bushes or wild areas. It’s our exotic traditional fruit that can be eaten when yellow or green….

[@ill_faded_na9510]

Namibia too got two three of them surrounding the crib or backyard as you said and when its that season traditional alcohol home brew is made

[@chriscreations8853]

Most people aren't aware that yellow maize is genetically modified to grow in harsher conditions with higher yeild. The original is white. It's similar to what was done with banana's which have had human influence to get to what they are today. Original banana's are smaller and filled with seeds. Most people in Southern Africa will talk about having had yellow maize in the 90's. It had nothing to do with trying out something new. It was because that region underwent a drought period during that time and received US Aid to help feed the people.

[@HeleenHenstock]

Yellow maize originally come from Mexico and the US. White maize come originally from Portugal. They are 2 different strains altogether.

[@chriscreations8853]

@@HeleenHenstock True. You are very right about that. Maize is not native to Africa. It came with the Portugese (The white one). That was so long ago, way way before europeans even thought of colonising Africa. Probably sometime during the 1400's (Not sure about exact time) when relationships were all about trading with the African empires of the time. As for the yellow one, it was alien to Southern Africa until early 80's when a drought hit Southern Africa. Then it came back again early 90's because of another drought. But the one that came in the 90's had been altered and was'nt natural. In the States in was'nt used for human consumption. The whole purpose of experimenting on that maize was because it was meant for feeding to livestock. Until today it is mostly used for feeding livestock.

[@HeleenHenstock]

@@chriscreations8853 Yellow maize has been in South Africa much longer than the 1980's. In the 1960's we fed it to our chickens on the farm. During the droughts SA imported the yellow maize from the US and Mexico for human consumption. There are quite a few farmers that farm yellow maize for cattle feed. Some small farmers sell their yellow maize to mills that sell it as maize for human consumption.

My Mum used to make Mango Chutney. But since neither my parents nor my siblings and I are into hot 🔥 spicy food it was fairly mild. My Late Eldest Sister's (she died of an aggressive type of cancer) Husband and Son have an ongoing contest to see who can eat the hottest spicy food. Unfortunately they didn't find a cure for my Sister's cancer until it was a decade too late. My Brother-in-law remarried a few months after they found that cure. We were all happy for him. Including my Mum whom he'd said she'd always be like a Mother to him. Everyone in my family who were able to attended that wedding. Back to the story, my Brother was invited for dinner by some friends of his once. Looking around at what was on the table he said "Oh great Mango Chutney!" Then proceeded put quite a bit on his dinner. His friends looked at him like he was crazy 🤪, after taking a bite he understood why. Let's just say it was nothing like what Momma used to make. Mum had Four Sons-in-law and a Daughter-in-law without ever receiving a complaint. She was a Reasonable, Warm, Loving, Cuddly Lady who treated everyone fairly. She respected the decisions and choices of her grown-up children and their families. She'd only offer advice and wouldn't try giving orders. She'd get her way quite often because we loved 😍 her.

He mistook the tomato relish for 'Chakalaka' of which its not, it's called 'Bisto'. Chakalaka is a baked bean salad.

South Africa specifically has two types of corn which are white and yellow, and most smaller variations such as sweet corn that is also yellow in color when raw nd after being cooked and both you would find them in different towns or cities around the country.

So the pudding is done definitely than in the video.. Its a cake (or even chocolate cake), baked in the oven and smothered in a sticky sugary syrup that soakes in the cake then served warm with ice cream or custard. Basically served in winter... But u can find alot of videos on how to make it.

@@TheDemouchetsREACT wanted to comment so badly. That's the treatment we always get esp from the people who are all over our country and those who want to be here so badly. It's segregated but not as much as you're led to believe. After the group.areas act many people still choose to remain in the places where they were allocated. You saw that amaPiano reaction you did, some find the burbs boring compared but I think one of the main reasons is the fact that people simply cannot afford to move. Yes Gvt tries by all means to keep SAns reliant on them on order to remain in power so they refuse to empower them but many beat the odds too. As for the shacks, we also have millions of migrants coming through daily and they build those so you find that certain areas it's not even SAns but migrants. There can be some really nice areas in the township too hey.

@p ma mbongwe We're so glad it isn't as bad as the video shared. We both wanted to stop recording so many times throughout the video. It was definitely a hard to watch video for sure. I don't know what we could do to help, but I pray one day soon we are able to. Even if it is just one family.🙏🏾❤

The different colours of "corn meal" comes from the different types of corn, you get yellow maize, and white maize, hence the difference in colour. The one makes a yellow powder, other makes white powder.

Hey Demouchets, y'all must be talking about Loquat fruit growing there where you live bacause Marula trees are endemic to Southern Africa. Loquats look only slightly similar and originally come from China but have been cultivated all over the world including Californa and just like in some parts of South Africa, in some US states those trees are now considered to be an invasive plant species. Marula on the other hand is something totally different.

[@matomem]

Amarula is a type of liqueur alcoholic drink. The raw product is Marula which grows in Limpopo province. The drink Amarula is made in the Western Cape, which is the Winelands.
