So after a couple of months of training in this central part of South African social culture, it was time for the Brits to have a bash at braaing. Braai is the Afrikaans word for ‘barbecue’ or ‘grill’ and, unlike the amateurish attempts made the minute there is even a hint of sunshine in the UK, there is not a cheap, frozen, frisbee burger in sight. A braai differs from a barbecue in that wood is the traditional fuel used to cook on, although there has been a rise in the popularity of charcoal in recent years, chiefly due to the amount of time it takes for the wood to get to the right temperature, which is a good few hours.
