Every braai has its own personality

A braai is one of those things that gets better when more people pull up a chair.

There’s food to share, stories to tell, decisions to make and usually at least one plan that changes halfway through because somebody had a better idea.

Everyone adds their own flavour to the afternoon.

See what kind of braai personality comes through.

Take the Quiz

English

Your ideal braai starts with...

One slightly questionable idea that somehow becomes the plan.

A braai checklist that is already 80% complete.

A long afternoon and absolutely no reason to look at the time.

The usual favourites, because they earned that title.

None

You’re choosing what goes on the grid. You...

Choose enough variety so nobody has to fight over the last piece.

Stick with what you know will be lekker.

Pick something that can take its time.

Choose the thing nobody else was brave enough to suggest.

None

Someone brings a new sauce. Your reaction?

I’ll taste it, but I’m keeping my usual one nearby.

Check whether it is mild, hot, vegetarian and enough for everyone.

Put it on the table. We’ll get to it when we get to it.

Open it immediately. This could change everything.

None

What's your perfect braai playlist?

Whatever gets the job done.

Loud enough for somebody to start dancing.

The classics. No need to reinvent the playlist.

Something easy that can play in the background for hours.

None

You have R200 left in the braai budget. What happens?

Put it towards the meat. Priorities.

Buy the wildcard. We’ll work out what to do with it later.

Ice, bread, firelighters. Apparently I’m the responsible one.

Add something lekker for everyone to share.

None

Someone says, “Let’s just wing it.” You think...

Excellent. Plans were starting to feel restrictive.

No problem. I’ve already got a Plan B.

Sharp. We’ll figure it out as we go.

Can we at least decide what “it” is first?

None

Pick the compliment you’d most like to hear.

“Things are never boring when you’re around.”

“You know how to do things properly.”

“You make a braai feel like a proper kuier.”

“Ja, good thing you thought of that.”

None

Your perfect braai is...

Full of gees, laughs and a story for tomorrow.

Easy going because everything has already been thought of.

Long, relaxed and full of good conversation.

Simple, lekker and done properly.

None

Time's up

Afrikaans

Jou ideale braai begin met...

’n Lysie waarvan 80% klaar afgemerk is voordat iemand opdaag.

’n Lang middag, ’n lekker vuur en nêrens waar ons hoef te wees nie.

Die ou gunstelinge. Hulle het daardie titel vir ’n rede verdien.

Een plan wat dalk ’n goeie idee is. Ons sal nou sien.

None

Jy kies wat op die rooster gaan. Jy...

Kies iets wat niemand nog probeer het nie. Hoe moeilik kan dit nou wees?

Hou by ’n ordentlike tjop en wors. Hoekom karring aan ’n goeie ding?

Maak seker daar is genoeg verskeidenheid dat niemand later oor die laaste stukkie baklei nie.

Kies iets wat maar sy tyd kan vat.

None

Iemand bring ’n nuwe sous. Wat doen jy?

Vind eers uit hoe sterk hy is, wat daarin is en of daar genoeg vir almal is.

Maak hom dadelik oop. Hierdie kan alles verander.

Ek sal proe, maar hou my gewone sous binne bereik.

Sit hom op die tafel. Ons sal later by hom uitkom.

None

Wat speel by jou perfekte braai?

Die ou gunstelinge. As almal die woorde ken, is ons reg.

Iets wat begin met kopknik en eindig met iemand wat kaalvoet dans.

Enigiets is reg, solank dit lekker is.

Iets lekker rustig. Die mense moet mekaar nog kan hoor.

None

Daar is R200 oor in die braai-begroting. Wat maak jy daarmee?

Koop nog iets lekker wat almal kan deel. Daar is altyd plek vir iets ekstra.

Ys, brood, vuuraanstekers. Blykbaar is ek weer die verantwoordelike een.

Meer vleis. Prioriteite.

Koop iets wat ons nog nooit probeer het nie. Hoekom nie?

None

Iemand sê: “Kom ons wing dit net.” Jy dink...

Dis reg. Ek het klaar ’n Plan B.

Kan ons net eers besluit wat ons eintlik probeer doen?

Nou praat jy my taal.

Ja wat. Ons sal ’n plan maak.

None

Kies die kompliment wat jy die graagste wil hoor.

“Jy weet hoe om dinge ordentlik te doen.”

“Dit raak darem nooit vervelig as jy hier is nie.”

“Gelukkig het jy daaraan gedink.”

“Jy laat ’n braai soos ’n behoorlike kuier voel.”

None

Jou perfekte braai is...

Een waar almal lekker ontspan, want iemand het klaar aan alles gedink.

Eenvoudig, lekker en ordentlik gedoen.

Lank, rustig en vol goeie geselskap.

Vol gees, lag en ten minste een storie vir môre.

Jan Braai/Idees Vol Vrees

Jan Braai, Kobus Galloway

Pap en wors. Kerrie en rys. Brandewyn en rugby. Sekere dinge hoort net bymekaar. Maar daar is nie ’n beter kombinasie as vlymskerp humor en ’n gesellige braaivleisvuur nie. Juis daarom het Jan Braai en Idees vol vrees se Kobus Galloway kragte saamgesnoer vir ’n eerste in Afrikaans.

Hulle meng Jan se passie vir vuur en vleis met Kobus se ikoniese humor, en prut dan alles saam in een yslike swartpot van Suid-Afrikaanse geure. Blaai deur, lees mooi, lag lelik … en neem alles gerus met ’n knippie sout. Dié twee is immers altyd op hete kole.
