BiP needs a portal for admitting and explaining problems with braaing. I feel this should be an essential part of BIP. I also think it should be done around the fire, but hey, when there is no fire what does one do - tik dit uit. So here goes my admission of guilt on a family braai held here last night (no guests, just us).
- I announced a braai was in order in the morning but forgot to take the borewors out the freezer
- on defrosting the boerwors at the last moment I managed to par cook it in the microwave so most of the fat came out of the wors and was in the punnet
- a) I made a fire with my local spidergum kak wood, and when scraping coals out still found traces of the pizza cardboard that was used to start the fire; b) i poured the defrosted fat in the punnet onto the fresh bed of coals thinking it might help to add flavour
- a) upon braaing the borewors did not sizzle; b) the smoke from the side fire irritated everyone
- the boerewors carried on par cooking
- I declared that it must be ready by now and put the fire out and proceeded up to the table, dripping borewors fat all over everything
- at the table while cutting/breaking boerewors for dishing onto plates I realised it was not properly cooked - a bit underdone inside and soft on outside
- I continued to serve and eat the borewors in an underdone state
- my BiPWaG said she thought it was nice
- my daughter would not eat it
- i ate my carefully selected parts
- there is still some almost braaied borewors left in the fridge
