Carnivore Delight: Mastering South African Braai Menus Meat-Only Style
Fire up the grill without fear, carnivores! South African braai spots offer a paradise of sizzling meats—but hidden sugars in marinades, sneaky sauces, and starchy sides can sabotage strict carnivore diets. Discover how the mm food app equips you to feast fearlessly:
Why Carnivores Crave Braai—And What to Watch
Braai (South African barbecue) showcases incredible meats: boerewors sausages, sosatie kebabs, and juicy steaks. Yet pitfalls lurk:
- Hidden Ingredients: Soy-based marinades, sugary glazes, or vegetable-oil basting
- Starchy Surprises: Pap (maize porridge) or chakalaka relish accompanying meats
- Language Barriers: Menus in Afrikaans or local terms masking ingredients
