Dear braai meester
I thank you for your frank and open missive here. From your recount, I would classify your meal as a braai (particularly when juxtaposed with the rednecks version of a braai). I too feel that our braai identity is congealing and that we are on the threshold of a brave new world that may just do away with our day jobs.
In musing on your most recent braai experience, I realise that the braai genre appears to be quite thin on the non-meat aspects of braaing. My ex-brother-in-law (actually he lived in sin and never did get married) steadfastly refuses to use tinfoil, since aluminium has been positively linked with Altheimers disease. However, whenever I have compared notes with Waldorf devotees (who by the way know a lot about vegetables and not just salads with apples and nuts in them), they use tinfoil for just about everything.

Rere: Lost braaigrid
Dear Sidefish
Last night was a braai scheduled a week in advance following the late cancellation of an impromptu braai last week that was also cancelled. The person who was hosting the braai had been with flu and i the guest was scared of his germs and my families imune systems.
We had already puchased the meat: 3 marinatid pork sosaties, 4 lamb chops and so it came to be about 5 in the evening when it was proposed that making a fire was a "las" and that grilling the meat in the oven was the prefered method of preperation. I announced immediatly to my wife that this would need to be reported to BIP, and thus is this the content of this email message to you as a proud founding member of BIP.
She said that was Ok, but I was not so sure. some tense moments passed and then I gave in to the oven. whether to cook the meat on the pan or by placing on the grill thereby allowing the fat to drip through to the pan (which bends when it heats up so the fat can leak into the oven floor) - the grill won that debate.

Dear braaimeester
My office has recently been alerted to my involvement in a BIP process, and they are somewhat in awe of this process. This has led to to braai documentation gleaned from international best practice to be forwarded to me.
