The expat cyclist Posted July 31, 2017 Share It's Monday. I am outside doing what South Africans do best: I braai. Now I'm sure we all have our braai rules. I have a simple one: If I invite you for a braai, we are going to braai. Not one of those drinking brandy and gooing more hout on the fire BS till 23:00. We braai and have a few doppies inbetween but at some point before 19:00, we will eat. I hate those braais where the meat never make it to the braai. fabes, dev null, Allrounder and 23 others 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAAD4 Posted July 31, 2017 Share MJ I agree. Don't feed me tjips n sweet tjilly sauce, because you are you stukkend or lazy to light the blerrie fire. You Invite me to braai, we braai and eat. If I'm driving I might go home early anyway, but FFS let's eat some meat before midnight.... BigDL, AdamA, Harryn and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddaman Posted July 31, 2017 Share Braai meat includes wors, rump steak and sosaties. Lamb chops may substitute sosaties. In addition chicken or kaaswors may be served up as starters to keep the kids from going hungry.If you are doing a fish braai, then it is snoek. Anglefish may be used if snoek cannot be found, and only if snoek cannot be found. Fires should be lit BEFORE sunset. Food must be served before 20:00. This is Souf Effrika not Europe. We eat early.

Patensie Posted July 31, 2017 Share Our family was invited to a particular braai when I was 5 & my boet 3 yrs old. When it was dark already the oom my dad & I got in to the oom's bakkie to fetch the meat in his deepfreez in is mother's house. They also farmed at Patensie. Those were the days before microwave ovens. I dont think the oom told the tannie he invited people over for a braai. I also think that the oom was in diep k@k that night.
