Braai4Heritage tour: Day 36 – Knysna. Perhaps the best braai of the tour so far Posted on 19 April 2011 What can I say? The braais are just getting better and better. Graaff-Reinet was fantastic and I wouldn’t want to take anything away from our good times there, but when you rock up in Knysna to find 200 oysters shelled and waiting, deboned joints of lamb and delicious ribs glazing on the fire, an abundance of exotic-looking salad, complimentary Mitchell’s Beer on tap and all this set up on a beautiful spot, right on the heads that you never knew existed, it’s tough not to feel that you’ve reached the pinnacle of braaing and it’s all going to be downhill from here. Even Jan’s monumental hangover (“It feels like a pack of white dogs are barking in my head”), couldn’t keep the smile off his face when we arrived. The whole thing was supremely organised by our host, Ivo Vegter, Opinionista for The Daily Maverick. Read Ivo’s excellent article for his first-hand account of organising and hosting a Braai4Heritage tour braai. I ate more oysters than I’ve ever eaten in total in my life (don’t be sad for me) and followed it up with some awesome salad (it will forever thrill me to see a good salad at a braai) and a plate full of fire-roasted lamb, peach-boerie and perfectly braaied ribs. Good times. Thank-you Ivo and thank-you Knysna. This is going to be a tough braai to beat.
