Excellent. I always laughed at Saffas who travel overland through Botswana and sneak in freezers full of expensive Woollies meat to braai. Stupid if you can buy better steaks there, at just about any butcher, for cheaper too (few years ago). Is it still like that? Zim also produce some excellent beef.

OMG the beef there. Went up to Bots about 10y ago, and I still remember it. Only one that's come close to that is the export quality SA meat that I had in Mauritius. And even then, not close. But. I'd far rather have our meat than the USA's average meat, going by how my mate raves about the quality of our meat vs the stuff available in the USA for the average consumer.

And I miss inexpensive Gemsbok meat. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and DJR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted July 3, 2020 Share Lol, many years ago I did a brief stint doing overland safari's in Zim, Bots and Namibia... On one trip we had vegetarians... Decent meat = easy to findDecent veggies = not so easy to find! did a 3week trip through Namibia during varsity. 5 cars 22 people, long distances, lots of booze, a meal roster and 1 lonely vegetarian. wow did she sukkel, we really tried to work her into the meals but it was mostly braai round the fire vibe, so there was normally a meal on the side Then the one night she can have ostrich, turns out she's only vegetarian on the animals that were slaughtered on the kibbutz she had lived on. Near the end of the trip the one oke had had enough of this double standard, everyone is understandably a bit tired and patience is short. So he makes this monster potjie, and when she asks where her meal is on the side he says it's being sorted. Come time to serve, and she gets a peanut butter sarmie. She stripped her moer and things got heated that night! Hairy, Ed-Zulu, DJR and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoffel76 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Anniversary dinner that has been cooking slowly all afternoon... the plus side of working from home during lock down. Down side is trying to work with the smell of pork being smoked! [emoji38] Long Wheel Base, Fruity, Ed-Zulu and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
