We know how hunger can strike while waiting for the meat to cook so we asked local foodie, Thomas Seakamela, for five foods he snacks on during a braai that will not fill him up or ruin the main meal.
POLOKWANE – On 24 September, South Africa will celebrate both Heritage Day as well as National Braai Day.
Whether you are visiting friends for a braai or you are the host, you might need some food to stay/keep your guests entertained. We know how hunger can strike while waiting for the meat to cook so we asked local foodie, Thomas Seakamela, for five foods he snacks on during a braai that will not fill him up or ruin the main meal.
He says he prefers waiting for the meat but in cases where he cannot help himself, this is what he snacks on:
1. Nuts and raisins – You can never go wrong with nuts, more especially because they now come in a variety of flavours to tickle your taste buds.
2. Chips and dips – Getting your ordinary chips and treating them to a dip can be a nice way to lay off the hunger pangs without taking away the appetite for braai.
3. Fruit – Fruit is a nutritious snack that will not fill the stomach.
4. Cheese – This is a delicious snack that also goes well with wine during a braai.
5. Bread – Bread is known for being the ultimate starter, with a bit of butter, it’s sure to keep your hunger at bay.
