A typical braai on a small braaistandThe word braai (pronounced “bry”, rhyming with the word “cry”) is Afrikaans for “barbecue” or “roast” and is a social custom in South Africa and Zimbabwe. It originated with the Afrikaner people, but has since been adopted by South Africans of many ethnic backgrounds. The word vleis is Afrikaans for “meat”, so in this word, the “s” is not a plural.

The word has been adopted by English-speaking South Africans and can be regarded as another word for barbecue, in that it serves as a verb when describing how food is cooked and a noun when describing the cooking equipment, such as a grill. The traditions around a braai can be considerably different to a barbecue however, even if the method of food preparation is very similar.

    mmmmm there is nothing like a good braai. im Australian but many of my friends are South African, and i will never pass up an offer to join them for some boerewors. Its funny because most australians think that we are some sort of king of the BBQ, but in reality we could learn alot from you guys.

    just talking about this has made me hungry

    I’m a South African …
    I’m a South African Girl who loves the Braai.
    I don’t know if I’m just a hiccup of nature or if I was raised a bietjie backwards.
    When we came here my brothers got a full blast of American. I was lucky.
    My dad taught me how to braai.
    I also know how to hunt, shoot, shoot a bow and arrow *just for fun and laughs*, make a decent fire, chop firewood the right way, and other things.
    I’d like a South African opinion on me.
    If you’d be kind and put it on my comments.

    Maybe I was raised wrong but I’m a South African girl who loves the Brie.
    My dad taught me.
    My brothers got a full blast of American when we got here but I got off lucky.
    Maybe I don’t know my place.
    Hell, great video.
