Yeah I was looking forward to braaing again; nothing beats a boerie sizzling on the braai. I'm hoping to be at next years potjie, plans at the moment are to be in Indonesia during the latter part of August 2012 which I'm afraid is to close to the Potjie date, we will see.

Chicken? Who's chicken?
John how about switching things up a bit and making the Main Category more challenging like pumpkin or fish? Perhaps not as tasty as Ox-tail or Lamb but people will have to come up with some creative receipts to cook pumpkin or fish in a traditional potjie. I'm aware that there's an Open category but lets make the Main category challenging and let the cream rise to the top.

I would like to see Nando's sponsor a separate category using there sauces with a handsome Nando's prize to the winner. Just some suggestions.

Looking at that video on the Potjie Festival's website, doesn't look like much fun to me.
Not my cup of tea, too many backwards-looking people for my liking :D
But I wouldn't mind the food!

Net as hulle al hulle probleme uit kon sorteer. Die laaste een lyk my het so bietjie van 'n suur smakie in mense se monde gelaat. Miskien kan die organiseerders so bietjie terugvoering gee daaroor. Ek haal my hoed af vir hulle, hulle werk hulle self oor 'n mik net vir ander om fout te vind en kritiseer.

Is dit nie maar tipies Suid Afrikaans nie?? :-) Die klomp draadsitters wat altyd loop en fout soek maar te sleg is om iets self te reel??
