"Manske" is a term primarily used in South African English as a noun to refer to an outdoor charcoal grill or barbecue pit. It is derived from the Afrikaans word "braai," which means barbecue or grill. The term "manske" specifically denotes a larger, more elaborate kind of braai setup.
A "manske" typically consists of a metal or brick structure, often with a built-in gridiron, where food is cooked over an open fire fueled by charcoal or wood. It is associated with social gatherings, often involving family and friends, where people come together to enjoy a meal and engage in socializing. The cooking process on a manske involves grilling various meats such as boerewors (a traditional South African sausage), steak, lamb chops, or chicken. Side dishes and vegetables may also be cooked alongside the meats, adding to the overall flavor and variety of the meal.
