National Braai Day in New Zealand

The maggeage from Bryan Habana "We played our part for National Braai Day! Francois Hougaard showing us how."

It was already 24 September (National Braai Day) in New Zealand when Bryan Habana, the highest try scorer ever in Springbok rugby sent me the photo above, with the message “We played our part for National Braai Day! Francois Hougaard showing us how.” I also received the following email and photos, showing us that not only international rugby players partake in National Braai Day, everyone else does it to.

Braai in Helensville, Auckland NZ

Hi Jan,

Did our own celebration of National Braai Day in NZ, Helensville, Auckland to be exact. Was great! Attached photos with some scotch steak fillets, mushrooms in garlic and blue cheese butter, just after the wors, lamb chops and chicken nibbles were done. Then finished off with some “toasties”. Had some pap en sous as well!. Castel Lager too expensive here, so have to make do with NZ Lager:-).

Great site and work with braai.com!

Cheers

Warming up for National Braai Day

Model company: Sam, Dan, Kerry and Jan

Friday’s a relaxed day across South Africa, the country as a whole warming up for the weekend. When that weekend involves National Braai Day, however, there’s more preparation than usual required – particularly if you happen to be Jan Braai. And so, on the eve of the big day, Jan roped in National Braai Day ambassador Dan Nicholl, and set off for a busy day round the fire. First stop was Ellis Park, for a braai with a couple of the Kiwis involved in the Lions set-up – a cleverly timed lunch braai, which took place as Braai Day was starting in New Zealand, 11 hours ahead of South Africa. And once that had been done, and a brand new Isuzu bakkie collected for the rest of the day’s adventure, it was off to join Highveld breakfast DJ Sam Cowen and supermodel Kerry McGregor for a braai at Sam’s house.

Giving Sam's braai its annual outing

Sam, who lives in a sprawling Tuscan mansion just outside of Boksburg, had a confession to make: she’s not the most regular of braaiers. Largely because of her socialite status (she’d already opened a new shopping centre, and been to the launch of a new range of socks, by the time the National Braai Day team arrived), she tearfully confessed to Jan that she knew she needed to have more braais at home, and promised to do so. Jan forgave her, largely because Sam had brought supermodel Kerry McGregor along for the weekend, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition legend proving an accomplished braaier.

Jan Braai with his celebrity crush

With Sam’s braai done, one final Friday appointment: dropping in on Noeleen for Jan’s fourth appearance on 3Talk in the last few months. Armed with a braai, matches and plenty of wood, Jan was keen to light a fire in studio; Noeleen kept him to a masterclass in how to prepare a fire, tips on getting the braai just right, and some flashing smiles at the rugged face of National Braai Day. With live national television done, it was back to the Isuzu, and off to get some rest, with a rather big day set to follow.
