Did you learn something new about South African food? Put your knowledge to the test in our fun quiz: bit.ly/3QcYcBT

[@Anna-uh3jq]

Ooh I love a good quiz. Will have to go to that after the video.

[@bradleybartlett5740]

As a South African absolutely loved this video. Unfortunately you got the snoek wrong, the fish depicted is the American Snook (Centropomus undecimalis) while in South Africa we catch and braai Snoek (Thyrsites atun). Great effort boys, very lekker 🇿🇦

[@Getpojke]

Never been to South Africa, but there's a good sized SA community in Scotland so I got a score of 6 in the Quiz. Love the SA approach to food, unfortunately the SA deli in the next village shut down a few years ago. But on the plus side it's made me cook/make all my SA treats from scratch.

As a South African who is terrible at braai'ing I can confirm, they do indeed not let you hold the tongs, make the fire or turn the meat. You are allowed to fetch the beer and this is your duty lol.

[@MNot00]

So a personal thing that we do with our Snoek is that we brush the snoek with a little bit of lemon, spices and apricot jam/chutney. We put it on tin foil and put it on our braai. The chutney essentially caramelizes on the skin so it gives a nice contrast to the taste of the fish and the sweetness of the apricot. At the end of the day if someone can cook something over a fire we probably already cooked it over a fire.

[@franjegrosskopf2158]

The way my family usually makes it is a bit different. We make a double batch of the sauce that gets poured over before the last 5 mins of baking and then we pour it over when we eat it. It makes for a much creamier and softer pudding. But we call it Karoo pudding.

As a Brit who was fortunate to live in SA for 3 years I can definitely say I loved the food. I still knock up a chicken liver peri peri for old times sake, but if I had to put a single SA item top of the list I would have to go for the Don Pedro. Want an after dinner whiskey but it’s 35 degrees, easy, just blitz it in with vanilla ice cream and cream, genius. My favourite though was a Frangelico Don Pedro, always first on my list for when we visit!

[@HenryDube72]

Never been a more accurate description of the South African braai and the strictness around the braai stand. If you're clueless you get kicked out to other errands or put under a specialist's wing. 🤣

[@juandeandrade3675]

I can confirm that a braai is quite different from a barbecue. The atmosphere is different, and we braai anything from fish to mielies to garlic bread. There usually is always usually 2 -3 different kinds of meat and we use wood and coal to start our fire, and it is not considered a braai if cooked on a gas grill. A braai is never complete without boerewors and some type of garnish in between(such as potato salad, chakalaka, salad, baked beans, sweet corn etc.) The pap is usually made on a stove, but if one has a potjie pot(a cast iron pot), it can be made in there over the fire(even better). The major difference I've noticed between a barbecue and braai is the starting and ending procedures. A barbecue relatively uses gas to start the fire, and is quite manageable when it comes to controlling the heat and getting the heat you want relatively quickly. A braai you start from scratch, and waiting for the right amount of heat takes time and is a skill, as different meats require different heats applied to them to cook them to perfection. The waiting process ensures that nothing is rushed and, because we're subject to the braai, the opportunity to chill and catchup with those around is created. Even after the meat is cooked, the fire remains lit and wood or coals are continuously added. Everyone gathers around the braai and eats, and will often remain there well into the evening. Smores are bought out for the kids, and soft or loud music is played in the background, depending on the occasion

[@odisolveki7286]

A braai is the most South African thing ever. Everyone brought something to the fireplace. The KhoiSain and Bantu brought the wild meat, the Afrikaners brought boerwors and fish, Indians brought chakalaka, atchar and spices, the English brought Mrs Balls chutney and Worcester sauce. Muslims brought bobotie meatballs, but they left when they found out the other meat was not halaal!

So when they say us south Africans they speaking for like 4% lol. They all amazing dishes..

When it comes to a braai, you can do pap two ways. Stywe Pap or stiff porridge described as a White Polenta, with reference to consistency of course. Secondly, Krummelpap, crumbly in texture.

Come and visit, you must have friends here, 24th of this month is Herritage day which has turned into Braai day because almost all cultures in our country has this in common.

[@kharneater778]

@@honeybunch5765 Unfortunately I don't. Distance and time has lost the contact. I do know that the people of SA are extremely friendly and welcoming so even if I went I'm sure I would be welcomed and invited in to participate as a complete stranger. My experience in SA was that the locals saw a stranger as a friend they hadn't met yet. This was part of the thing I love so much about the country.

[@Honeybuzzz135]

You can visit me I'll show you around Soweto every corner is a braai spot and get some good Kota

[@kharneater778]

@@Honeybuzzz135 See that is what I mean. Love the hospitality and embrace of a stranger. Experienced it so many times during my 5 month stay in the cape area. I would love to take you up on it and be able to travel, sadly it won't be happening in the near future as my current situation keeps me from travelling. I thank you humbly though for your kind offer.

[@heinrichbasson2191]

As a South African I can say, this tasting and the dishes chosen really did our cuisine and culture justice. All of the dishes, from the pap and wors, to the malva were staples growing up that were present at every family gathering, every braai and I'm glad to see our culture being shared and enjoyed by other people.

I'm from Mauritius, a small island to the east of South Africa and Madagascar, and this video brings me so much joy, especially the Amarula one, it is so delicious

[@elainelindseyrampertab1945]

Mauritian food seems really similiar to south african. When I searched for recipes for dhal pita and dhal puri it's mostly Mauritian versions that pop up

I could honestly spend the rest of my life going from restaurant to restaurant in South africa for every meal for the rest of my life, loved everything about the food when I was there. One of the best places in the world.

Patrick did a very good job these are most of the things that make South Africa so unique. ❤

[@DarkWinterAMV]

As a South African, I have fond memories of my Grandpa braaing and making potjie in the designated braai area of the house, while my granny cooked potato bake and made salad in the kitchen. Not as South African as other braais, but I loved it nonetheless

[@lukeashton4788]

As a South African, this was a dream come true! It was awesome to see some of our food finally represented on a global platform! I hope you guys try to make a braai of your own, but next time just make sure you eat the pap, boerewors and sous with your hands!

[@helenjansen27]

As a South African, I nearly cried at how fabulous this is! We are such a proud nation and seeing our cuisine on your channel is fantastic!

i am so grateful that South African food has had an opportunity to redeem itself, after the biltong misfire of a few weeks ago i thought you might have closed your minds to our beautiful country's cuisine, so glad for Chef Patrick. Dankie Boet, ons waardeer jou x

[@ruth-annwright3774]

Yes! I was so disappointed with the last SA appearance. They have now redeemed it

[@AliasSirBias]

biltong misfire? what? How have I missed this episode? And how has biltong misfired? So many questions.

[@TraceyOfficial]

@@AliasSirBias Hey Luke, so Barry and I think Mike did a Gadgets review but i'm sure its two months ago or so, and it was a Biltong making contraption for the oven (near the end of the episode) but the boys didn't like it. And as you can imagine I was screaming at the screen going NO, that's not Biltong! heheehe anyway Now that Chef Patrick came to the rescue all is better.

[@matthewvanrensburg3824]

Yeah, it was more a jerky maker somehow labelled as biltong, a proper insult to real biltong that was.

[@tickledtoffee]

Chef Patrick really did a wonderful job of representing our food. And I’m sure it all tasted incredible!

A nice South African touch could have been a "Springbokkie" at the end. A shooter with Amarula and peppermint liquor. 😍

I think especially Spaff would love South Africa, we definitely cater to his palate here. Ebbers would go mental for some of our spice markets. Not to mention the amazing wines. If you find yourself in the Western Cape we'll stick you for a braai and brandy 😜

Ebbers can visit the Cape for the wine and fish. Spaff can go up north, where pork and chicken are the vegetarian options.

As a South African this was eye opening. I thought monkey-gland sauce was a universally eaten staple, I'm curious to know what sauce the rest of the world puts on their monkey-gland burgers.
