There are lot of things you could do. E.g Chilli con Carne quite easy. except Mine meat you don´t need to cool down fresh Products. You could do Butternuts, chop it in two pieces, stuff it with chees and stick it together with honey and just put in the fire.

Ok. Here is one from "ancient times.

Take about 14% sawdust and 86% water and freeze it as hard as possible.

The sawdust in the ice will cause reduced thermal conductivity which will extend the melting for an extended period of time.

MM, when you say Perinase, I don't think that you mean this

I have found it

very bad for the waistline

Hi Tracytas,


I agree with MM about the pasta, if you are lazy to make the pasta sauce, buy one from the bottle. The tomato based sauces are nice to eat and relatively good on the waistline as well (depending how much cheese you add to your pasta... ). The other advantage of that is you do not have to keep the items cold all the time. The pasta and the sauce can be easily transported and save space in your cooler bags for the cold stuff...

Good advice, just wont seem right for me to eat pasta in the park.

You could do variety, like steak one night, lamb chops next, then kebabs next, t-bone next etc

Save lot of space for more ice to keep steaks cold if you leave vegetables at home, they do take up a lot of space and you can't cram them together like steaks etc otherwise they bruise and become yuck.

My menu is chops or sosaties , I vary it with parsley & onion / spek / cheese wors .

I know thats the problem the S.O and i were discussing it how can we ACTUALLY give up a braai in the knp that would just be HERESY!!!!

But atleast we know that there are some convenient back ups for that just incase moment!



I really didnt know that! u have officaly taught me something!!
It is a rather clever and scientific idea

The S.O and i were thinking about a bush braai, that at least gives us a day off from cooking and washing, does anyone have any suggestions about that as this would be our first one

Yep. Works like a charm.
Called Pycrete and it was even considered during the WWII to make an aircraft carrier out of it. The HMS Habbakuk.

Tracy, have a look here, as far as I remember there are quite a few details about bush braais!

Ohoh... I have bad news for you! You will still have dishes afterwards. Plates, cutlery and the likes.
You might want to read the article on my site too: http://duques.nl/ That tells you the how-to.

Nice website DQ. I like the quiche recipe

Thanks DuQues for the link nice website!!

I have to admit its quite disappointing to know that the bush braais are not aimed at us as south Africans, but as someone said on the previous link that Micetta suggested that we cant complain because we as south Africans we have a certain and specific way we like our wors done and who are we to get some one else to do it!!!

For us Pretorianers, if you've had enough of meat and want something vegetarian, eat chicken!

Jokes!

We seldom braai every evening, we alternate with...

- Chicken or Mince Mate - very easy to prepare, uses one pot, can be done on a Cadac or at communal kitchens
- Toasted sandwiches - we always take our sandwich toaster, it's quick, and any leftovers make great in-car snacks
- (Mentioned already) Pasta and Sauce - the All Joy sauces in jars go for around R20 and are very tasty
- Cold meats / cheese on rolls. Add some beetroot from a jar and some pickled goods, and you have a meal for a king. And being in the continental style, it doesn't leave you dik and bloated.
- Pre-cooked / pre-packaged lasagne, macaroni cheese or cottage pie - provided you know you're going to have a microwave handy

Vegetables!!
