> Ever wondered about the difference between a BBQ and a Braai?
> Well here is the answer...
>
> -BBQ You first check your stock of gas before inviting anyone.
>
> -Braai You first check your stock of beers before inviting anyone.
>
> -BBQ If using charcoal, a full bag is thrown on, set alight and when
> the fire is white hot, the grid is thrown on half an inch from
> the coals with a cheery fires ready!. There then ensues
> a cacophony of shrieks and screams punctuated by four letter
> words as towering inferno flames are extinguished with the
> garden hose drenching all and sundry and the cat. Fire is
> normally at the right heat for cooking about two days later.
>
> -Braai Charcoal is slowly drip fed onto the fire thus enabling
> extending consumption of thirst busting beer. Rule of thumb -
> time to put the meat on is when you are about two thirds of the
> way through the beers. Any outburst of flame is put out with a
> splash of beer, always with the comment adds to the flavour.
>
> -BBQ Meat consists of pink sausages, flip flop hamburger patties and
> anaemic chicken pieces.
>
> -Braai Meat consists of three inch steaks marinated in Klipdrift for a
> month, two foot long sosaties, vark ribbetjies and boerewors.
>
> -BBQ Charred meat is presented on a platter looking like something
> you would see on CSI or Bones or something from a Time
> Team dig. Unbelievably accompanied with comments like :
> just check that your sausages are cooked!.
>
> -Braai If the steaks dont ooze blood theres hell to pay.
>
> -BBQ Salads comprise of supermarket coleslaw and baked beans.
>
> -Braai Who needs salads? Salads are only included on the menu to
> keep the women in the kitchen.
>
> -BBQ No leftovers!
>
> -Braai You can feed a family of six for a month on the leftover meat.
