This week, we delve into the strange world of the
Koeksister.
Enter the
koeksister (pronounced "cook-sister"), a traditional South African sweet that is both a donut and a cookie.
"For those with a sweet tooth, there is the
koeksister, a hugely popular dessert that is essentially a syrup-coated doughnut in braided form," she said.
The company specialises in biltong (dried cured meat) and drywors (a dried snack sausage), but is "constantly" developing its range, which includes traditional South African fare such as boerewors, flatties, rusks and
koeksisters, as well as wines, beers and spirits.
The event showcased more than 30 stalls selling South African delicacies such as bunny chows (South African-style curry served in half a loaf of bread), boerewors rolls (traditional sausage that has South African written all over it),
koeksisters (a very traditional baked desert) and many more.
The Ubuntu Bash in Doha will see more than 30 stalls selling South African delicacies such as bunny chows (South African style curry served in half a loaf of bread), boerewors rolls (traditional, unmistakable South African sausage),

And don't forget the pumpkin fritters with cinnamon and sweet butterscotch sauce and other desserts like
