-=[[Braaivleis]] as food=
-[[Braaivleis]] is an [[Afrikaans]] word referring to the popular South African culinary custom of roasting meat outdoors on hot coals. (Usually referred to as a "barbecue" in other parts of the world, and a "barbie" in Australia for example.) It is the  name of the product of a [[Braai|braai]] (i.e. the meat that is eaten) and is usually eaten hot of the coals, with salads, bread or [[Pap|pap]] (i.e. maize porridge). The gathering  is a familiar trope in South African culture and writing, and the activity itself can constitute a [[theatrical event]] or [[performance]] in its own right.
