Braaiing abroad however, can be pulled off with a decent amount of style. With full tummies and memories of the good times as an afterthought we’ve included a few ideas for you to make the best of the situation.
Organise a bring and braai – the easiest part of this forage into Heritage Day/Braai Day, generally only requiring the use of two operative phrases: ‘braai’ and ‘now now’.
Purchase a good cut of meat, boerewors and local beer from a Saffa shop – if your country doesn’t have one, consider yourself in the wrong country boet!
Clean up your garden area – slugs the size of small poodles and stinging nettles do not make up a big part of South African garden flora and fauna.
Light candles around the social area – it looks nice, and, well, the chicks dig it.
Build a separate (small) bonfire – use this to keep warm and to mesmerise fellow braaiers when words are not forthcoming. Chicks like this too.
Put on some South African music – Any SA music will do. Prime Circle, Goldfish, Arno Carstens are some suitable ideas. Stay away from Detroit techno for this one.
Wait for your friends to arrive – if there is one thing that’s true about a braai, once it’s in motion it generally runs like a bobsled covered in Vaseline, especially if you’ve taken the above steps into consideration.
Happy Braai Day and Heritage Day from SA PROMO!
