The Official Braai Thread

[FalseBayFC]

I know, but saying they are invasives when most South Africans (of my age and older at least) grew up knowing the local species as "Acacias" is wrong. So no oom was not right when he said "Acacias" are not indigenous. Because many people still refer to the Senegalia and Vachellia as "Acacias"

I was just trying to be clever and inject a bit of semantics into it.

Such a shame to see South African xenophobia extending to plants.

It was actually the Aussies who forced the name change on us. They have more Acacia species than we do and asserted their botanical hegemony on us by insisting we find another name for our genus.

Same can be said for flamboyant. Not indigenous, but they are basically permanent residents now.

Yes yes, but when me and pielkop Koosie Koekemoer go to the bottlestore to get the nuwejaars jol supplies I don't tell him "gryp jy die sparkilende wit wyn en ek sal die goedkoop skots gemaakde spirits en soet brein wyn kry nie" I tell him " gryp jy die champagne en ek sal die whiskey en sherry kry" In a similar vain the average South African don't talk about Senegalia and Vachellia when Acacia is just so much easier to say and spell.

It reminds me of a that joke where I guy happens on an accident where a pedestrian was hit by a car and phones the ambulance services. When they ask him were he's at he replies Eucalyptus street so the operator asks him to spell it. After a long pause he replies that he'll drag him to Pine street and phone back.

Chicken sosaties and salad.

[OomStruisbaai]

Chicken buddies & vlerke, boerewors & pork bangers, pap & sous on klein Saturday

[Chilli]

Ribs, steak, wors.

[OomStruisbaai]

Weather look kak. Varkdag tonight fillet , loin and bangers with Kaapse pap and stir fry.

[FalseBayFC]

Today I'm doing Shashlik. Lamb sosaties popular in Ukraine, Russia and most of the ex USSR. The meat is cut into much bigger cubes than we do for our sosaties. When I lived in Poland we had several holidays in the Ukrainian Carpathians. We would end the days walking and climbing with Shashlik, Banosh( dryish pap) and Horilka which is the local flavoured vodka. So a Ukraine theme braai today.

Him and I understand each other. He has a sharp intelect that he appreciates the subtle things in life. I have a lot of respect for him.

Very impressed by his stance on Ukraine. I wonder if he played in that region

Game on

What do you put on the lamb ?

I marinaded with mint, rosemary, garlic and wine. Only for a couple of hours. I find long marinades on lamb spoil the meat a bit.

[OomStruisbaai]

Back in time to start a fire. Lamb rib & chicken tighs/runners.

Laaitie arrived in Kingsburre. The only whitey in the group, so my diversity education will be handy.

[OomStruisbaai]

Will miss both games tomorrow, on the road back from CT Airport. Will braai on Sunday steaks it is.

[Chilli]

So

The plan is to braai the whole afternoon.
Boerewors and flavored pork sausage on rolls for the Stormers victory over the Bulls.
Lamb marinated in red wine and garlic & beef in BBQ sosaties for the Lions victory over the $harks.

Happy Days!

[FalseBayFC]

T-Bone steak for me and big black mushrooms for the vegans. Fire going in the binnebraai area. South Easter is howling rather unpleasantly.
