A South African term describing meat cooked by slowly rotating it over an open fire on a long metal spit — the ultimate expression of braai culture taken up a notch. While a standard braai involves grilling on a grate, spitbraaied implies a whole animal or large cut rotating for hours, basted with flavor and patience. It's the centrepiece of a serious outdoor feast, common at weddings, festivals, and big family gatherings across South Africa. The word carries connotations of celebration, abundance, and skilled fire-craft.
The whole lamb was spitbraaied over six hours until the skin was perfectly crisp and the meat fell off the bone.
