      Never been to South Africa, but there's a good sized SA community in Scotland so I got a score of 6 in the Quiz. Love the SA approach to food, unfortunately the SA deli in the next village shut down a few years ago. But on the plus side it's made me cook/make all my SA treats from scratch.

      The way my family usually makes it is a bit different. We make a double batch of the sauce that gets poured over before the last 5 mins of baking and then we pour it over when we eat it. It makes for a much creamier and softer pudding. But we call it Karoo pudding.

    So a personal thing that we do with our Snoek is that we brush the snoek with a little bit of lemon, spices and apricot jam/chutney. We put it on tin foil and put it on our braai. The chutney essentially caramelizes on the skin so it gives a nice contrast to the taste of the fish and the sweetness of the apricot. At the end of the day if someone can cook something over a fire we probably already cooked it over a fire.

    @juandeandrade3675 Год назад +556

    I can confirm that a braai is quite different from a barbecue. The atmosphere is different, and we braai anything from fish to mielies to garlic bread. There usually is always usually 2 -3 different kinds of meat and we use wood and coal to start our fire, and it is not considered a braai if cooked on a gas grill.
    A braai is never complete without boerewors and some type of garnish in between(such as potato salad, chakalaka, salad, baked beans, sweet corn etc.) The pap is usually made on a stove, but if one has a potjie pot(a cast iron pot), it can be made in there over the fire(even better). The major difference I've noticed between a barbecue and braai is the starting and ending procedures. A barbecue relatively uses gas to start the fire, and is quite manageable when it comes to controlling the heat and getting the heat you want relatively quickly. A braai you start from scratch, and waiting for the right amount of heat takes time and is a skill, as different meats require different heats applied to them to cook them to perfection. The waiting process ensures that nothing is rushed and, because we're subject to the braai, the opportunity to chill and catchup with those around is created.
    Even after the meat is cooked, the fire remains lit and wood or coals are continuously added. Everyone gathers around the braai and eats, and will often remain there well into the evening. Smores are bought out for the kids, and soft or loud music is played in the background, depending on the occasion

    • @odisolveki7286
      @odisolveki7286 Год назад +75

      A braai is the most South African thing ever. Everyone brought something to the fireplace. The KhoiSain and Bantu brought the wild meat, the Afrikaners brought boerwors and fish, Indians brought chakalaka, atchar and spices, the English brought Mrs Balls chutney and Worcester sauce. Muslims brought bobotie meatballs, but they left when they found out the other meat was not halaal!

    When it comes to a braai, you can do pap two ways. Stywe Pap or stiff porridge described as a White Polenta, with reference to consistency of course. Secondly, Krummelpap, crumbly in texture. Tomato Sauce essential of course. Don’t forget the meat!! Even if you don’t braai, Pap, Sous en Wors still a true South African staple. Warm, spicy and hearty specially in winter. One of my many favourite dishes

    Ben's face was priceless when Jamie said he forgot how embarrassing it was to have a real chef on the show.

    So glad a proper South African chef could introduce these foods properly! South African food is next level

    Traditionally you don't just eat pap at a braai - in most households, it's an everyday staple (like bread/rice)

    Well this was a fun little video. Amazing food (really interested in S. African food now), and great fun hosts!

    A nice South African touch could have been a "Springbokkie" at the end. A shooter with Amarula and peppermint liquor. 😍

    South African here! Loved this episode. Made me miss some dishes from there that you can't get in the states. Lots of it is easy to make at home though! Sad there wasn't any vetkoek (fet-cook), but hopefully we'll see it next time!

    The malva pudding should have had a huge dollop of fresh whipped cream or vanilla icecream ❤

    I've lived in many countries, and the food never comes close to South African food. There is so much love put into every meal in South Africa, right down to quality ingredients. I will always choose to braai wherever the road takes me.

    “The words are coming but the spice is taking over” wonderful! Used to manage a pub owned by South Africans and they had a lot of these foods on the menu.

    I think especially Spaff would love South Africa, we definitely cater to his palate here. Ebbers would go mental for some of our spice markets. Not to mention the amazing wines.
    If you find yourself in the Western Cape we'll stick you for a braai and brandy 😜

    • @matewis1
      @matewis1 Год назад +8

      Ebbers can visit the Cape for the wine and fish.
      Spaff can go up north, where pork and chicken are the vegetarian options.

    As a non white South African, the dishes that Patrick did is usually done by, white English speaking South Africans.
    The white Afrikaner people (people of western European descent, Dutch, German, French, et al), started the Boerewors (uniquely South African beef sausage) and braaing of meat.
    They combined it with the versatile pap (cooked mealie/ maize or corn meal) learnt from the local indigenous tribes. Pap is the Afrikaans word for porridge.
    Pap is a stiffer version of the European polenta. It only contains water, salt and mealie meal.
    What was presented IS NOT FULLY REPRESENTATIVE of all South Africans.
    The braai (Barbecue) is ubiquitously South African. As for the rest, like the fish dish, will be cooked by a few along the Cape coastal region and possibly Kwa-Zulu Natal.
    Come to South Africa and enjoy, literally thousands more dishes, including the best curries ANYWHERE in the world. Crocodile, Mopani worms, biltong (not be confused with American jerky).
    Come one, come all.
