Oh the beloved braaibroodjie, or for those who have been living under a rock or in a pothole: a sandwich grilled on an open fire. Who invented the braaibroodjie remains unknown but whoever it is, we praise you for your marvellous invention!

For as long as I can remember a braai simply is not a braai if there are no braaibroodjies, which means that almost every single South African has mastered the art of this fine sandwich by the age of 14. With its simplicity it does not require any chef preparing it to be a professional. In fact, it is so simple to make that it only really has a few core ingredients of which the most important one is sliced bread! A few other ingredients make the list, such as tomatoes, onions and cheese with some salt and pepper to spice. Now, this is the traditional version but many people seem to add Mrs Balls chutney which raises the question, to add or not to add?

No doubt, Mrs Ball Chutney is sensational and makes practically anything better but on a braaibroodjie? Isn’t less more when it comes to something so exquisite already. Does it really need that extra sauce?
