Two days ago a journalist asked me what the 10 best braai items are that you can buy for under R100. Instead of simply giving her my own view I decided to use the collective braai wisdom of many South Africans and posted the question on Twitter. The question looked like this:

- martin_ras Martin Ras: die rooster.

- MichelleKang Michelle Kang: Pap and Hot Chakalala
- MichelleKang Michelle Kang: Actually, short ribs
