Much like grill in the U.S., braai (rhymes with broil) in South Africa is something likened to religion.

It's not just about what you braai, it's about how you braai, when you braai, where you braai and with whom you braai.

It's a get-together that assembles individuals around a fire to watch, smell and offer a supper. It's a place to eat, drink and recount stories for quite a long time.
