Comida que vamos provar na Africa do Sul - Braai, Boerewors e Mealie Pap

Braai (plural braaie) is Afrikaans for "barbecue" or "roast" and is a social custom in South Africa. It originated with the Afrikaner people, but has since been adopted by South Africans of many ethnic backgrounds. The word vleis is Afrikaans for "meat".The word has been adopted by English-speaking South Africans and can be regarded as another word for barbecue. They typically include boerewors, sosaties, kebabs, marinated chicken, pork and lamb chops, steaks, sausages of different flavors and thickness, and possibly even a rack or two of spareribs.









Boerewors is a sausage dish, popular in South African cuisine. The name comes from the Afrikaans words boer ("farmer") and wors ("sausage"). Boerewors is made from coarsely minced beef (sometimes combined with minced pork, lamb, or both) and spices (usually coriander seed, black pepper, nutmeg, cloves and allspice). Like many other forms of sausage, boerewors contains a high proportion of fat, and is preserved with salt and vinegar, and packed in sausage casings. Traditional boerewors is usually formed into a continuous spiral.

Mealie Pap is a traditional porridge made from mielie-meal (ground maize or other grain), is a staple food of the Bantu inhabitants of South Africa (the Afrikaans word pap is taken from Dutch and simply means "porridge" or "gruel"). Such dishes are enjoyed primarily by the indigenous black population and the Afrikaner population, rather than those of English or South Asian descent.
