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.
