stefmeister Posted August 1, 2017 Share A South African braai is made with newspaper and wood. For those who use webers or blits/charcoal I should tell you to tear up your man card right now, however I suspect that you would get paper cuts on those little fingers! One thing I've learned over the years is that a South African braai is basically a very elaborate method to *** braaivleis op. Americans are a lot of times considered stupid, but when it comes to cooking meat, I have to agree with their methods. No, I'm not referring to their bbq'ing a patty. Their spareribs, beef brisket and smoked chopped/pulled pork belly/shoulder are to die for. Compare that to a lamb chop that has been turned in charcoal, I'll gladly surrender my man card. Life's too short to eat *** food. PhilipV and MJ the Expat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Stewart Posted August 1, 2017 Share I was watching Jan Braai's Tour de Braai from George to Swellendam on his latest series. That looks insanely cool as a must-do, except the missus nearly had a fit when I mentioned that it looks seriously cool. She made it abundantly clear the N+1 Camber and my new Isuzu has just tipped the balance, and she is feeling left out, so I must not even think about trying to enter...

Life's too short to eat *** food. My experience is that as Saffa's we tend to think very conservative and one-dimensional when it comes to braai (at least I do...). It's either tjop, wors, rib, fillet, rump, the odd rib-eye or snoek. Chicken as vegetable component, and then braai-broodjies. I would be very happy to pull off some of what the American's deem as worthy of grilling on the BBQ. As long as I can do it on my braai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the problem.Too many people still believe that all meat needs to be cooked well-done, that includes fish. I'll never take pork to anyone's braai as everyone still believes you'll get sick if it's not drier than a desert. deanbean, Robbie Stewart and gummibear 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy Posted August 1, 2017 Share So yes, boerie on a weber, but it's still a good watch! The braai is so k@k (bad braai masjien, bad braai meat and bad braai technique), but anyone can see that but agree that it is good watch; like a how not to video. What is most distressing is that the dude goes inside to have a wee ! Isn't there a tree in this guy's garden .......

MphatiPyga Posted August 1, 2017 Share When my wife was pregnant I had to braai the meat a bit more than usual, long few months that. I don't understand how people can kill meat like that. A good vet should be able to bring that thing back to life.I refuse point blank to do well done meat, will take it to a certain point and hand the tongs over so they can stuff it up, shame the poor animal has died once already!! We also have a habit of cooking a steak or 2 first, nice and rare, slicing and passing around with dipping salt and sauce, maybe some squeezed lemon too!

Odinson Posted August 1, 2017 Share Here's a pro-tip if you get invited to a braai and the host gets sloshed before even lighting the fire: Go inside and knob his wife while she's "preparing the potato salad". You'll never have to worry about being invited again. gummibear, Long Wheel Base, Pants Boy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
