#bbqaroundtheworld South African style or as I learned they call it a Braai.
Now, when I was researching the typical foods served at a Braai, I found many different dishes and I choose a couple I thought looked interesting. Honestly it amazes me that everyone in the world gathers around together to BBQ one way or another. It just brings everyone together.
We don't need an excuse to Braai so let's get started.
