We love braaing. There's something about the combination of smoke-in-the-eyes, seared finger fuzz and the smell of cooking meat that keeps us going back time and again, to the back porch and the trusty old
braai. It's
not a barbeque. It's something more
real, more
primal than that. Brr-aahhh-iiii : it even
sounds wild. And I suppose that's why so many of the guys (and more and more of the gals) we know spend weekend after weekend cooking up something yummy in the open air, sharing a meal with family and friends in a way that has become a true, boundary-breaking tradition in our country.
Still, it's no reason to get your clothes dirty, and even the most hardened of the "Manne" have started wearing
aprons in a bid to stay clean. Manly aprons, naturally. But aprons nonetheless. It's with this in mind that we've found
a great pattern that you can use to make your man (or yourself) the perfect braai accessory, and save hours on washing, too!
And while you're on the subject, have a look at South Africa's own
Braai Boy for ideas, jokes and braai recipes galore.
(PS: The piping is NOT pink. We promise. It's puce. Seriously.)
(That's a GOOD thing).
