#NationalBraaiDAy

It was #NationalBraaiDay just last weekend, and I have no doubt that not only were numerous fires lit up across the country, but a few hearty brews were enjoyed at the same time.
For those of you not familiar with a real South African 'Braai'...what the hell is wrong with you??!!!
Oh sorry perhaps you prefer the term 'Barbeque'
Either way its basically one of the most intrinsic elements to South African culture you could find. And although the details may change depending on your demographic and preference the basics shall forever remain the same: Guys standing around a fire with a drink or two (or three) in hand and the ladies putting together the accoutrement away from the boys.

Well for myself and @KeeganDaniel Saturday's National Braai day meant joining the ever elusive and eloquent (read: full of BS) Dan Nicholl and Jan Braai (the Nation's Nelson Mandela of all things Braai) for a completely vegetarian meal hosted at Bar-Ba-Coa in Umhlanga.
A spread you can not even imagine! Had to take a few tablets of rat poison when i got home just to thin my blood out abit after all that red meat!

It was a truly beautiful site arriving to welcoming smiles and a table full of all the best meat and drink one could ever hope for. I felt like one of Peter Pan's lost boys in the film 'Hook', didn't need any imagination though.
Oh yeah and there was this other guy there...you may remember him Craig Davidson?
Yeah me neither.

One of the highlights must have been the post feast digestif which consisted of being put through our paces via a beautiful Director's Reserve KlipDrift 20year old. Our host and Bar-Ba-Coa international man of mystery Mike serving as guru and educator to a bunch of uncultured rugby players.
(Dan doesn't play rugby but judging from the frame he has been so diligently working at (and achieving) over the last few years, the front row beckons)

Anyhoo...Hope you all had an amazing weekend, and great few days.
