Braai or BBQ – Same but different?

A braai and a BBQ are both enjoyable ways of cooking food over a fire, but they have different origins, techniques, equipment, food and flavors. They also have different meanings and roles in their respective cultures. However, they also have some similarities: they both involve grilling meat over an open flame, they both create delicious meals that can be enjoyed with friends and family, and they both reflect the diversity and creativity of human cuisine. The essence remains the same: good food, friends, and the magic of fire and smoke.

“Rules” of Bring and Braai.

The other day, my friends and I had an interesting conversation about one of South Africa's most established traditions; the famous "Bring and Braai". The conversation revolved around braai etiquette, do’s, and don'ts, bad and good braaiers and wood or charcoal. The conversation was as hot as the coals.
