BRAAI RULES. 2009 / 2010
We are about to enter the BRAAI season. Therefore it is important to refresh
your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity.
When a man volunteers to do the BRAAI the following chain of events are put
into motion:
Routine...
(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert
.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along
with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who
is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.
(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone
where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can
take place without the interference of the woman.
Here comes the important part:
(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
More routine....
(6) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great..
He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the
meat
Important again:
(8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
More routine...
(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins,
sauces, and brings them to the table.
(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
And most important of all:
(11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his
cooking efforts.
(12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed ' her night off ', and, upon
seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some
women.

A woman does most of the work and doesn't praises or thanks.
Darko, you forgot the rest.

The host looks at different cultures living in Australia and there were some Congolese refugees who'd started a new life here. Fairly regularly, they had a traditional BBQ thing happening.
(I know ... the Congolese don't technically use the term Braai, and they're not from South Africa ... but a BBQ is a BBQ, yes?
The women did the side-dishy things and such and the men did the meat.
Goat, as I recall.
