A controversial vetkoek filling

An American woman named Tia, who resides in Cape Town, uploaded a video on her TikTok account (@livingthedreamwithtia) telling app users she tried a vetkoek with liver inside.

While many people have different ways to make vetkoek, this one raised eyebrows.

Tia, who mistakenly called the dish traditional, showed the big pieces of liver stuffed into the fried dough meal, needing water after her first bite.

The woman shared that the dish reminded her of a dry doughnut and told app users:

"This isn't my first time having amagwinya with chicken liver. I will say this one is more chunky. The ones I usually get are more blended or saucier, but I understand everyone makes it different."

"Who the heck told you vetkoek is eaten with liver? Are you nuts? Apricot jam, syrup, cheese, minced meat, or even dry and dunked in coffee."

"Cow liver would taste a little better for me because it would be more chewy, as long as it's not dry."
