After seeing some of your recipes, brother, I too am soon a full vegetarian. Could you possible create your own thread for the brain burgers and lizard soups? I miss some cute-looking cupcakes right now!

Did someone say cupcakes? :D That's one thing I could never quit, cakes and chocolates and desserts.

What about biltong and droewors? You don't eat that either??

(In the US they have a different kind of biltong they call Jerky. Biltong is much dryer, though. I don't think they have droewors. Droewors = Dried out sausage.

You get meat biltong and chicken biltong. Both are nice.)

I hadn't heard of these until now, akhi. You have introduced me to some of strangest foods I've seen.
 
A restaurant can't make it the same way. Braais aren't made in the kitchen; they're made outside, over a fire. You use a braai stand, like this:

You get what's called a "Bring and Braai". Everyone (only Muslims, of course) brings their own "Braaivleis" (braai meat, whether it's chops, cutlets, wors, ribs, etc.) to the braai. The Braaivleis gets marinated while the fire is on and gets chucked on the braai. When people braai, one (or all) of the following three salads are generally made:

1) Potato salad.

2) Baked bean salad.

3) Greek Salad.

Some people also take bread, butter it, and braai it on the braai stand where the meat had been, to let the bread acquire the taste of the meat.
 
The ladies usually sit inside the house and eat (their food gets served to them), while the men stand around the braai and eat the meat directly off the fire.
 
Those lizard pics are just too gross.:phew

Sister herb is right, make a special thread where you can post all those stuff;D so some of us who dont want to see wouldnt have to click on it:skeleton:
 
It's racialistic to make a separate thread for these kinds of foods (which I'm sure taste just fine), but I suppose I have no choice.
 
The looks of it says it all:heated:.

By now you should have tasted some since you're so eager to taste it.:p

Beauty isn't just skin-deep. I'm sure those brains and lizards are beautiful on the inside. (They may not look good - although that is debatable - but they probably taste good.)

Please tell me that is a joke:phew

The only meat I eat is chicken, mutton, beef and fish, thats about it - not eager to taste anything else.
 
Kk in the light of huzaifaih's lizard and interesting foods, i'll just post some sweets...

Okay: When any moderator has free time, will they be kind enough to move the recipes/pictures posted by me here to the new thread I've made: "All Good Food"?

Jazaakallaah.
 
:salam:

I like potato salad. I used to know how to bake muffins. :-/. Now I don't know - or at least I am unskilled/rusty.

I like fully scrambled egg. No yolk. I like marinated food. Tastes good. I like it old-school. Outside, and with fire.

Allahu alam.

They are kind of like Arabian barbecues, aren't they? I suppose I will have to wait to be invited to one to taste an authentic Braai, soon inshaAllah.

That's how we do it, the men stand around the barbecue and send it in while we can relax inside the house, and welcome a break from cooking lol.

I know right? At least I'll be prepared if I ever go to an Arab country and see people eating lizards like popcorn. :D.

In Shaa Allaah.

The men will usually ask (before sending in) how the women would like the meat: well done, regular, or rare?

(When it comes to chops, cutlets and ribs, on a braai, I always prefer mine rare.)

In the Afrikaaner (Boere) culture, the men braai basically everyday, so the women rarely have to cook.

I think it's mainly the male Arabs who eat it; I don't think the women go in for those things.

In African culture (like among the Xhosa people in South Africa), when braaing an animal, it's customary for the "tender meat" (i.e. the liver, kidneys, stomach, etc.) to be served to the old people because - among the Xhosa people - that is considered the better meat (and also because the old people barely have teeth left, if any). The young people eat up the rest of the animal.
