In South Africa there’s a huge culture about braais (barbecue). There’s something that we love about gathering together with friends and family around the fire, cooking delicious meat. In most cases, most housewives would prefer to have a braai than a dinner party!
The first one is the convenience. There’s a lot less organization and preparation for a braai. You needn’t worry about making fancy five-course meals. You can simply make sure you have meat and condiments (佐料) for the meat, but you can’t do it like that for dinner parties. The atmosphere around a braai is a lot more relaxed, so there are a lot less expectations of you. The convenient part of this is that you needn’t deal with such a big mess inside your house after the party, because everyone will stay outside most of the time.
The convenience of the food preparation is probably one of the best parts of hosting a braai. When you have a braai, it’s acceptable to throw some meat onto the fire and serve it with condiments, such as potato salad or bean salad. Naturally, you feel more comfortable cooking these kinds of simply prepared foods at a relaxed braai. However, there is more pressure to impress with the food at a dinner party. It’s normal for the men to be responsible for cooking the meat and preparing the fire, and in many households, this will be the only time you will find a man cooking.
In conclusion, you can see why braais are more fun, and why there is a better atmosphere around a braai! There’s such a nice sense of community and fun, and you can also swim and include outdoor activities in your braai. It’s easy to see why braai are better than dinner parties, so what are you waiting for? Have a braai!
