Making braai plans can be easy or difficult depending on how you decide to do it. There is the intelligent way and the not so intelligent way. The not so intelligent way of making braai plans would be as follows: Call everyone in your contacts list and tell them you are having a braai on a certain day and they are invited. They can come if they want, no RSVP date, just pitch up. This makes thing really difficult as you do not know how much space you are going to need on the braai or how much seating you will need. You could end up with no one coming to your braai or everyone – it will all depend on their mood on the day. The more intelligent way of making braai plans would this: Call a few people who you interact with socially on a regular basis and invite them to your braai. Ask them to let you know by a certain date if they are coming or not. This will allow you to plan for enough pace on the braai for all the meat and also make sure there will be enough salads and seating for everyone to have what they want and be comfortable. Making braai plans this way lets you know what to expect and helps you to organise things so that you do not run short or get way too much and live on left over salads for the rest of the week following your braai. The key elements to making your braai plans go off without a hitch would be to make sure everyone is aware of whether they need to bring their own meat or not, if they need to bring their own seats (although it is a good idea to have some spare, just in case) and if they need to bring their own drinks. You also need to make sure you know how many people will be coming so that you can make sure you have enough space and enough salads and snacks to go around. Make your life easier and make your braai plans intelligently. |
There’s nothing better than sharing a traditional barbecue with family
and friends. Meaty steaks, breasts of marinated chicken, spicy sausages
and delicious lamb chops … all sizzling over a glowing, charcoal fire.
Add to this a cold beer, a glass of wine or a fresh fruit juice and
you’re in heaven!
