RE: Salami and Spekboom Chutney Braaibroodjies - A Traditional Dish with a Twist

Much quicker easier recipe for spekboom chutney, now that is something I will try with garlic chives both around the home, thanks!

Definitely a favourite here with most people I know who enjoy toasted goodness off the fire.

For sure! Do try it. I love the taste of the garlic chive, and if you have so much on hand, why not use it. Thank you so much, and I must agree: anything on the fire is a win; fruit, veg, and meat!

Need to braai again, we don't braai as often as we once did. Everything off the fire tastes good.

Same here. With wood becoming more expensive on this side, braaing almost a luxury! I remember in 2012 when we bought a 1000 pieces for R300 or so. Now, it is almost R2500 for 1000 pieces of wood.

Wood has gone up in price not having electricity now rely on fire cooking outdoors we noticed it here.

Any wood cut in parks, bakkies go in collecting to dry and sell in location, one has to reinvent oneself continuously to survive.

Interestingly, this did not happen in the cape! After that massive wind storm, various trees still lying on the side of the road. Maybe, I need to get a trailer and pick up some nice firewood for the future. (Edit: I am not always sure about the law regarding picking up wood from public property though.)

If it's on the pavement I'm sure nobody would complain, I am surprised the rural folk have not already arrived to scoop it up.

I will see how things look when I go back next week. Maybe I can still grab some nice big pieces of timber for my garden.
