Please take great care when attempting and keep any clothing well clear. Under no circumstances, do NOT attempt to enhance effect by adding extra oil.

Legend No.4 - Strangest ever BBQ/Brai meal!

Occurred just outside of the town of Waterberg on the Limpopo River in the Limpopo region of South Africa in 1952 when a crocodile ate a springbok and was then caught, coated in a special spiced mud and barbecued whole, the resultant Braai meal was enough to feed 40 people.
