Braai is a traditional South African method of cooking meat outdoors over an open flame, typically using wood or charcoal. It is similar to barbecue and is a popular social activity in South Africa. The meat can be marinated beforehand and is usually served with sides such as maize meal, pap (a type of cornmeal porridge), salads, and chutneys. Some popular meats used in braai include steak, chops, sausages, and boerewors (a type of sausage made from beef or game meat). Braai is considered an integral part of South African culture and is often referred to as a "national heritage."
