    In South Africa, a braai, or South African barbeque, is very popular, mainly because it is an easy way of cooking it at any location. Often the meat is game meat.  Braai is often enjoyed by the locals.  Most South Africans are known for barbecuing on a weekly basis or even as often as every evening.  The braai grill can be simple mesh wire placed on stone bricks.

    Marinated steaks and Lamb chops, spiced spare ribs and kebabs are accompanied by the sauce, maize meal porridge, bread seasoned with herbs, mushrooms and unique salads creating a wholesome and festive culinary experience that is unmatched anywhere in the world.

    Braai is  not just a cooking technique, but the South African braai is a lifestyle.  Large groups of friends and family gather for this enjoyable event on a regular basis making it a way of connecting people.
