We all know that us South Africans LOVE to braai – it must be the ultimate food tradition / cooking method / food in South Africa…
‘Braai’ – it not only describes a cooking method {cooking food, usually meat, over open coals, similar to a barbecue}, but it can also be used to describe the actual event.
As in, come on over for a ‘braai’…
Typical ‘braai’ food is a s election of meat {chops, steaks, sausage – usually ‘boerewors’}, along with a variety of salads, perhaps a veggie dish and some form of bread, usually sandwiches with tomato & cheese, toasted on the braai. {You won’t find any ‘braaibroodjies’ at our house #justsayin}
