Heritage Day: Braai ideas for vegetarians
Are you vegetarian and want to partake in the traditional Heritage Day celebrations of having a braai? Here are a few ideas to help you.
Having a braai on Heritage Day has become the norm for most South Africans, with many nicknaming the holiday “Braai Day”.
Heritage Day celebrates South Africa’s diverse cultural heritage, and food plays an important role.

South Africans don’t need an excuse to have a braai – we have them all time - but it’s just extra special on Heritage Day.
Here are a few braai ideas for vegetarians, which we think meat lovers may enjoy just as much.
