Time to Braai

In South Africa there a few sacred things one should always be aware of. There is the importance of food, the significance of good weather and the necessity of good hospitality. On this one sunny late afternoon, or more early evening, all three of these came together to create a wonderful occasion.
At the Campus Bay Retreat, nestled above the now-famous beach strip, you can, if you are lucky enough, be spoilt to an eveing sampling a remarkable braai (or barbeque, to the foreigners). We started off with old fashioned cocktails (mojitos and martinis), which felt fitting, considering that this hotel is really old English, in the good sense. Our dinner companions were a little delayed (this is due to the ghastly traffic, which has become a huge problem in Cape Town). But, with this view, waiting was not a problem at all. When they arrived, they had mojitos and a gorgeous-looking strawberry daiquiri.
The braai, which takes place on Saturdays in summer, proved to be all we expected....the best of salads followed by tender braai meat, that had my cousin Ravi, scratching his head at...it is rare to get meat that tender off an open grill. Follow this, with good wine, and hearty desserts, we were happy indeed...

The sacrament and practice of Braai seems fun. Not only do you get to fill up your stomach, but you get closer to your faith. The South African people truly have a unique culture. This has opened my eyes about their tradition and beliefs. I'd love to visit there sometimes and know more about their culture.
