Braai for Heritage

Taken from braai.com

Aren’t we so fortunate as South Africans to celebrate our Heritage Day with a lekker braai? Foreigners wouldn’t understand it, but nothing is more South African than a braai (BBQ overseas). Wors, braai broodjies (BBQ’d sandwiches), potato salad, garlic bread, chops, pork rashers, pap and sauce... the list goes on of all the yummy local food that makes up a braai. Mmmmm, my mouth is watering as I think of it.

Besides the delicious food, the atmosphere of a braai adds to the splendour. Everyone stands around the braai and chats and laughs with a beer in hand. Good times with good people is how I would describe it. A braai is so special because it brings people and families together in a casual, fun environment. I would say that as a foreigner visiting our wonderful country, you haven’t experienced South African culture until you have joined in on a braai.
