One of the first things that South African expats look for in a foreign country, is boerewors. You know… that yummy South African sausage that everyone likes to braai on a Sunday (or a Tuesday, or a Friday…) The problem is… the USA isn’t like South Africa where you can go to the grocery store and …
“Let’s have a braai!” – Epic words spoken by many a South African.
(The word “braai” means “to grill food” and is pronounced “bry.”)
The South African braai is much more than a way to cook food. It is an event that fills voids in lives!
When things go right, like the Springboks winning, South Africans celebrate with a braai. When things go wrong, like Eskom cutting electricity again, a braai is the answer. The braai fixes anything!
Whereas American jerky is usually made from slim strips of meat that consist of very little fat, traditional South African biltong are manufactured using large cuts of meat, often having a third of the cut consisting of fat.
