A Thanksgiving Braai

Happy Thanksgiving!

Katie's parents, sister and her friend Myra have been in town for the last several days, and we got to cook them a traditional South African Thanksgiving feast tonight. We did not let the fact that they do not actually celebrate Thanksgiving in South Africa stand in our way of having a feast.

We combined the best of Thanksgiving cuisine--too much stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and turkey--with the best of South African cuisine--the braai. That meant we grilled a turkey breast to accompany some boerwors (that's sausage, only better) and lamb cutlets and lamb ribs on a traditional South African Weber grill.

We let our neighbors, Marcus and Laura, in on this new tradition too. They left looking both bloated and shocked at the amount of food the rest of us ate.

This was what the traditional feast looked like on the grill:
