We had the same. We only braaid once a week. Mostly on a sunday. Nowadays I'd love to braai about 3 or 4 times a week. But I think my kids would make big steaks out of me if I did. haha

Wonder how many Omunders still in town use those half drum braai's. I remember my Dad's and Uncle Jerry's well. They could hold stacks of wood for massive fires and tons of coals.

They aren't always hairy but they all have a hump in the front. (No its not what you think, or I think for that matter) I meant the hump in which the water is stored, I mean beer is stored. That still doesn't sound right!! OK, the boep where the beer is stored.

Georg, I say men who go bald have allowed their wives to sit on their heads to much. The hair rubbed off.

if i may intervene - i believe that is a ribeye steak, a cut of meat i discovered in UK, the best most succulent flavourful steak ever.  The lines of fat and the eye of fat ib center just dissolve into meat and add yummyness........

Post by: georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP) on December 21, 2007, 10:18:25 AM
@Mike

That looks a nice piece of meat

We spoke about prices the other day on skype.

In my O_M days 1kg of prime meat was about Rand 2,00   .............. the Rand is gone to sh...........
When i arrived in SA 1 Rand was worth DM 5.60 = € 2,80 = 28 Rand today

Today € 2,80 is about 28,00 Rand

Looking at the piece you show, it seems the prices in NAM are as high as in Europe. The UK is still more expensive

Here a piece i bought yesterday its about 660 gr at 6,6 € = 66 Rand

See the price and weight, 1 kg about 10 € = 100 Rand

How does that compaire ?????

Its Beef to be made as a roast with gravy etc and potatoe dumplings, served with salad or veg

Hi Michael.
I was just trying to offer a witch what she deserves. hahaha  quickdop
This steak is what we call "Gammellfleisch". Believe it or not, but there was plenty of meet on the german market this year, that was a couple vof years old. All they did was freeze, refill and new date. That was real cheap meat...  cl1
Brushing your teeth before or after never helped.
