Eish. We thought South Africans loved to braai… but there’s a video of a mega barbecue in Uruguay going viral that shows these South Americans have the same passion as us!

The video was taken at the annual “Festival de la Carne” in Pando, Uruguay. Watch below. The caption basically means (according to Google!) ‘The Day Has Come: Time for the Awesome Grill of the Meat Festival’.

Apparently the Canelones Meat Festival gets stronger every year, with the last one attracting over 4,000 guests!

The team of BBQ masters start their day at around 04h15 and work flat out till 18h00 keeping the locals happy. They use about 10,000 kg of firewood, 2,700 kg of meat and 4,000 sausages.

The festival began about six years ago to promote Pando as the country’s national meat capital.
