Is it still a braai if there is no dop/alcohol?

[Cosmik Debris]

As long as you don't braai vegetarian.

Drink has caused some experimentation while braaiing. Broccoli doesn't braai well...

 

[dualmeister]

Is dop a crucial component like wood?

This concept is foreign to me

 

[LCBXX]

What's the issue with gas-braai-ing?

 

[pinball wizard]

is it still a braai if you use a phillips airfyer

Only if you crossfit before and after.

My farts impart an unimpressive flavour component.

How about if you braai a vegetarian?

 

[Herr der Verboten]

GOt a buddy who does not drink, he is th elife of the party when we braai. As long as you enjoy it, and do not stifle the chap who wants to have a drink, then all good.
But those teetotals that try to preach to everybody, and the suipgat who falls over and throws spice over everybody's meat... gives me itchy knuckles

Drinking is bad for you, it's always a good time to stop now.

At my first sober braai we had to cater for a vegeterian. It was the weirdest thing ever trying to figure out how do you braai for them. Are you allowed to share the same grill, or do you first braai their whatever-the-hell-it-is and then your meat?

Then you ask yourself how long will it take to braai? Is it still raw?

Needless to say, my social group was rather happy the day we became short of a vegan.

I've been 7 years 1 month without a drink

Why is that even a thing on your mind?

 

[SAguy]

Nothing wrong with it, just don't call it a braai.

A braai is cooking over open coals

 

[Other Pineapple Smurf]

Why is that even a thing on your mind?

Because it has been 7 years and 56 days since I had technically my last braai.

Yeah, I read that comment about it being a bbq, but that's also nonsensical.

 

[The Trutherizer]

For me personally. Yes.
Everybody likes their own flavour.

 

[Other Pineapple Smurf]

It's just something I've always wondered about as it really confuses a lot of people at braais that I don't drink.

As a result, I always end up as the designated braai master by the League of WAGB's (Wive's and Girlfriends of Braaiers) to ensure the food gets done before children start biting each other out of hunger.

Don't wonder about it. The problem is theirs, not yours.

 

[Other Pineapple Smurf]

Past that age in my life where I care what others think. Just one of the many random thoughts that dash around in my brain while I stand a the braai in my crocs.

I do jeans and flip flops like a Durbanite.

 

[TheMightyQuinn]

Yes, a khaki pant and klippies and coke aren't prerequisites for a braai.

/not a dig at you cbr...

Never was....
