(South Africa) Cooked by roasting on a spit.
A South African term describing meat cooked by slowly rotating it over an open fire on a long metal spit — the ultimate expression of braai culture taken up a notch. While a standard braai involves grilling on a grate, spitbraaied implies a whole animal or large cut rotating for hours, basted with flavor and patience. It's the centrepiece of a serious outdoor feast, common at weddings, festivals, and big family gatherings across South Africa. The word carries connotations of celebration, abundance, and skilled fire-craft.
(South Africa) A barbecue , especially an open outdoor grill built specifically for the purpose of braaing.
(chiefly, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe) A social meeting including the braaing of meat; a cookout.
