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.

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 Жыл бұрын

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

@chriscreations8853 Жыл бұрын

@@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 Жыл бұрын

@@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.
