Ox Braai

Just a casual weekend 'Braai' for South Africans...



A somewhat extreme display of unadulterated carnivorism to you and I.
This picture of Ox Legs is enough to turn vegetarianism into virtue, immediately. In South Africa they don't mess about with pots and pans, or compete over who likes their steak well done, medium or still moo-ing, they just chuck it all on the Braai..or forest fire in this case and tuck in.
Unlike our quaint 'Bring and Buy' Sales in school playgrounds with Victoria Sponges and Battenburgs, 'Bring and Braai's' are a different kettle of fish altogether. Everyone just brings as much meat as they can possibly carry, shove it all on the fire and prepare themselves for the meat sweats!
A free pass to high cholesterol and heart attack? Maybe.
Worth it? Definitely.
