Braai is kind of like a big outdoor cooking party that people in South Africa love to have. It's like a barbecue but it's a little different. Instead of quickly grilling food over high heat, people cook things slowly over hot coals until they're all smoky and delicious. They use special metal grills called braai grids to cook meat like steak, chicken, and sausages, as well as fish, vegetables, and even bread. People usually gather around the braai to chat, drink beer, and have fun while the food cooks. It's a really important part of South African culture and people take it very seriously!
