Every self-respecting South African’s favourite braai treat, the humble lamb chop, or tjoppies as we like to call them in the deep Karoo, today makes its debut in your new air fryer. Who would have thought.
There’s much turning-in-graves today in Platteland cemeteries the length and breadth of the Karoo at the thought that there are people in this unfathomable modern world who would dare to cook that most sacrosanct of braai ingredients, theBut even sheep farmers sometimes cook lamb chops in a frying pan on the stove, or in the oven under the grill. I know – I’ve seen them. And an air fryer is nothing more than a little oven that you put on the countertop.
But this time, they won’t, and I’m happy to stick my neck out and say it. Because some inventions are worthwhile; some changes are for the better. I don’t see their air fryer going anywhere. What we South Africans will not give up easily is our braai, whether outdoors or in. I will still be braaingit is in my very genes to need to do that; it’s in my DNA to braai and I can happily believe that this innate need to cook on fire that simmers within the core of my being goes all the way back to times when our ancestors first made fire, smelt its smoke, understood its heat, and began to cook with it.
