Seeing magwinya on the TL always make me cackle because my aunt has a shop ya magwinya, my mom worked there for years. In 2017 I moved to Cape Town and asked for the recipe, and neither of them knew it. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">
In their defence, they make a fuckload of that stuff daily, like over 50kg worth of flour. But no one ever wrote the recipe down with measurements. My mom didn& #39;t even know the size of the salt cup, she just said it& #39;s a cup. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">
Those people developed the right combination of ingredients, make arguably the best magwinya in the hood, I& #39;m raised ka chelete ya magwinya but I can& #39;t even make them off the top of my head. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing">
Between a mother and aunt who don& #39;t know recipes for things they& #39;ve made daily for years and a sister who writes recipes with amounts such as "as much as you like" no one in my family wants me to remember them through food. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">
You may ask, where was I when all these things were being made? I was a child - that& #39;s where I was.
