EP56: The Art of the Braai ↣ Banter & Backstraps with Fred, James, and the Two Robins
In this episode we break from a week-long adventure in the Eastern Cape to celebrate a successful bow hunt. The jokes roll thick as backstraps and wild game sausage sizzle on a flat-stone locally called an Yster Klip, which literally translates to 'Iron Stone'.
— sound quality took a bit of beating early on in this episode, if you’re over the sound of sizzling meat then jump to about 35 mins in —
Cooking over fire is a huge part of South African culture, this episode gives an lighthearted insight into a backbone activity of the nation. Two professional hunters and a game farm manager share hunting memories and stories about life in the Eastern Cape, with an extra helping of banter too.
A big thank you again to Fred Hammer, Robin Gertz and James the farm manager for sharing their stories and outdoor cooking skills with us today.
