Our next door neighbour always starts braaing early on Saturday afternoon. First, there is the thick wave of smoke as the fire starts, then, a few hours later after he has burnt the wood down to coals, the smell of cooking meat. I pick up some words without thinking about them. We talk about braaing, about having a braai, I no longer say “grill” or “barbecue” except when talking to people back home.
