Yup ZA has these, and also the traditional "braaivleis", AKA a barbeque. At a "Braai" (rhyme with "dry") copious quantities of lightly sanded, charred chops, boerewors ("farmer's sausage" Mmmm :-) and of course BEER (99% of the time Lager made by a large company that practically has a monopoly on ZA beer production) are consumed. At the end of the day - the "na-verdriet" (hangover) is slept off while the women clean up ]:->. Beer bellies, high colesterol and heart attacks are popular in South Africa.
