in South Africa we have Braai's, the rest of the world would know it as a BBQ. in .za its a little different though, its meat country out here so we pile up on meat. Last night my family had a small braai cause it was a sunday night and i didnt feel like doing 100 things so it was just chicken, sausages(2 types), rump steak, lamb chops and some ribs. this all goes really well with salad and toasties (toasted saamies on the braai with cheese and tomato). If this was a proper braai there would be about 2x the meat, some salad variations and some sort of potatoe dish.
i seriously think of all things in the world a Braai ranks pretty high. and if anyone ever comes out to .za they have to go to a Braai somewhere!
