Heritage Day means all types of things to all types of people that inhabit our marvellous, soul-filled little country. But it’s no coincidence that our cultures come together in a melting ‘pot’, because the greatest unifier of them all is food, especially in SA, Suid-Afrika, Afrika Borwa, Mzansi. South Africa, our land.
Whether you’re visiting family, going on a picnic or staying home with friends coming over, we can’t imagine that any of these scenarios would not include a braai. It doesn’t really matter whether you’re dishing up on paper plates, enamel ones or your gran’s best china, when it comes to a braai, we’ve all got the same flavours in front of us.
Your favourite meats: chops, steak, boerewors, sosaties, chicken and even fish. The obligatory starches to soak up the juices: roast mielies, pap and foil-wrapped potatoes on the coals. Vegetables? Sure. Potato salad (the closest many get to any type of salad at a braai) and the must-have tomato smoortjie or chakalaka. If you can outlast the lure of flame-grilled meat fresh as soon as it comes off the braai, you could choose to add to the rest of the menu with braaibroodjies, potbrood or even a potjie.
