Vetkoek (literally, Fat Cake) a deep fried ball of dough, served either with a sweet or savoury filling. Fillings include, jam (Jelly), fruit preserves, cheese, minced meat, savoury or curried, or just some butter or margarine. A popular dish in the Afrikaner community and a staple food at fetes (flea market / community market). They are varied in size, from as small as a golf ball up to a large fist size. South Africans love them so much even a comedy series was created about a shop dedicated to selling Vetkoek, called "Vetkoek paleis" (Fat Cake Palace).
