Braai. Simple as that. Boerewors on the coals, pap and sous on the side. Dont need fancy restaurants or fusion nonsense. My wife makes a potjie on a Saturday that I wouldnt trade for anything you find in a city. People complicate food too much these days. Good meat, good fire, people you trust. Thats South African food to me. Everything else is sommer extra.
