Braai is the Afrikaans/South African word for barbecue, so I assume it means they are barbecue flavoured.

For the sweet craving try cherries and bananas - they do work very well.
Great to know this - I am moving to Venice for a year next February!
Thanks to the neverending rain my aubergines and chillies all died, the tomatoes are still hanging on by a thread and the lettuce was wiped out over two nights by the unholy army of slugs that has...
I do not cook much as a rule but for summer standby I have cooked frozen beans in the freezer and can whip that up with a tomato sauce fairly quickly for home made baked beans...
Otherwise I just...
Oh, so that explains the girl that was standing at the bottom of Grafton Street yesterday with a sign that said 'Free Hugs'.
To be honest, I would have humoured her but had been walking around...
Living without central heating is actually quite easy by and large (not to mention much much healthier actually). The only bummer is the mornings, getting out of a warm bed into a sometimes icily...
You can get a very good brand of flour at Italian shops - Semola it's called - makes great pasta.
Trust me, I started on the fennel tea as an omni and it worked then too. Maybe the impact differs according to personal body chemistry. For myself and my friend it is the wonder tea for appetite...
And another question comes to mind:
do you use filter coffee, espresso, instant or decaf?
If you are a wee bit nervous can you ask for a skinny latte?
Em...no.
I like coffee, I would even go so far as to say that I love coffee, but...no...
Coffee up the butt?
No...
Thanks Tibetan Snake.
I will be aiming for 80 to 90% raw. I will still be enjoying the odd pasta dish and hummus and baba ganoush for dipping things into. I am going to try and steer clear of...
I hope to God that Romney does not get elected. There is just way too much that is wrong with the guy.
I was wondering the same about flaxseed. You can buy ground flax seed here which I do not like much (except in my smoothies) but you can also get split flax seed which is essentially like really...
Really untrue too unless you have very odd cows in this part of the world.
We used to have friends who owned a dairy farm when we were kids and often were present when the cows were milked and got...
I have been sprouting seeds for over 6 years now, long before I went vegetarian or vegan.
The seeds that I use are:
Alfalfa
Mooli (Radish)
Kohlrabi
Broccoli Raab
Broccoli
Mustard
I have been contemplating going raw vegan for the past week, as I really do not have the time or inclination to cook anymore (not the best reason for going raw but it will do). My diet won't be 100%...
Sodapop, or any other fruit juice or mixed drink would be referred to as a 'cool drink' in South Africa. You generally then need to clarify what cold drink you are actually after.
In Ireland...
Forgot these:
Lollies/lollipops (also known by a brand name - chupa) are suckers in South Africa.
Candies are sweets (strictly sugary, sweet and chocolate free).
Jam is the spread made with...
Some of the posher hotels still offer a 'high tea' for guests and walk in visitors. The Ritz in London is one that I can think of offhand. Also, the Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town still does a...
Hmmm... a muffin is a muffin, a crumpet is a flapjack, a flapjack is a crunchie, a cupcake is a cookie, and a cookie is a biscuit in South African English.
Chips are chips but crisps are also...
An easy, and cheap way around the reliance on tinned beans is to cook up batches yourself (presoak in water with bicarb, then boil with a pinch of bicarb in the water, pour off the water, refresh and...
I use canned tomatoes because if I had to buy the volume of tomatoes I need to make some of the sauces I consider indispensible in the vegan kitchen I would be bankrupt by now (not to mention that...
Cafe Fresh in the Powerscourt Shopping Centre in Dublin is a vegetarian restaurant and will cater for vegans (with a smile instead of a grumble).
I am gluten free and generally grain free - on very rare occasions I will eat soaked spelt in salads but otherwise never see grains (or potatoes for that matter).
I am surprised that you all have such difficulty with eating out. Ireland is not renowned for having hugely varied or particularly accommodating restuarants yet I never have any problem finding...
I make much more of an effort now to try different vegetables, salad greens and legumes than when I was eating meat. This is really in an effort to keep myself from getting bored with my diet.
Amazing the choce they have hey Emma?
The only one I know is Mildred's and I went there when I was still very much a meat eater. I figure if their food can satisfy a committed carnivore then it...
My weekday meals are now fruit for breakfast and steamed veg with steamed green soy beans and (if I have them) cooked butter beans added (this makes up about 1lb of veg). Evening meal is more veg...
I bought a quarter of one as I was rather hoping it would make for a more colourful coleslaw. I am assuming it is ok to eat raw?
I am much more familiar with Abruzzo, Lazio and Campania and certainly there is no shortage of fresh fruit and veg. I am taking a leap of faith by going to Venice first before heading down the...
I am contemplating a move to Venice and will be basing myself there for one year from February next year. Am doing my homework already so am wondering what the vegetarian/vegan scene is like there...
I use them on colours but not for whites as they do not remove sweat stains.
biekie - could mean ' a bit' or 'some' - in Afrikaans this is spelt bietjie.
chips with curry ketchup, a veggie burger and lots of nuts and red wine?
Did I understand that correctly?
Breakfast was a 'blended salad' of mixed berries, cos lettuce, lentil sprouts, ground flax seed and vanilla flavoured rice milk.
Lunch was eaten on the run so went to the Hare Krishna stand at the...
Please read the comment in the context of the discussion at hand.
As I stated, quite clearly, vegan kids are most likely eating better than other kids who are now being fed a diet of snacks and...
I think you should raise your child any way you want. There are many cultures and many religions that impose dietary restrictions on their followers and we do not judge them for what they do or do...
Cherries!!!
And the season is almost upon us. They are nice here, and I am very very very blessed to live in an area that is chock full of cherry trees - I have been watching the fruit developing...
I find baking therapeutic myself and in the past lived with people who would gladly eat what I had made. Now everyone in this house is health conscious so that has caused a few problems for me. So...
