Every braai has one person who asks if there's a salad. This is the salad.

Braai slaai, also called babalas mix, is a mix of biltong, droëwors, chilli bites, and crispy fat bites, all mixed and spiced. There isn't a leaf in the bowl.

The name is proudly local too. "Babalas" is our word for a hangover. It entered Afrikaans from isiZulu as ibhabhalazi and was first written down in the 1940s. Since then, the whole country has borrowed it.

The biltong in the bowl has an even longer history. Early settlers probably learnt to dry meat from local indigenous people. Boer commandos lived on it out on the veld, and South African soldiers had it shipped to them in the World War I trenches.

Ask for braai slaai at your nearest Dry'd, and bring a bowl to the braai this weekend.

School holidays, day six. The Wi-Fi password has mysteriously changed, and there's a volleyball net up in the garden.

Send them out with a bag of Dry'd snacks. It's fuel for the next rally, and it gives their hands something to do besides scroll.

Pop into your nearest Dry'd store for holiday supplies.

Happy Heritage Day, South Africa. 🇿🇦

Today the whole country does the same beautiful thing at the same time. The braai gets lit, the tongs come out, and somewhere a debate about who makes the best potato salad is quietly ruining a friendship.

However you are celebrating, whatever your version of home tastes like, we hope today is full of good people, good food and a proper handful of the good stuff. Because heritage is not just where we come from, it is who we gather around the fire with.

From all of us at Dry'd, enjoy every bite. The biltong is on standby, the droëwors is disappearing fast, and the gees is at an all-time high.

Braai lekker. Snack lekker. 🤎

And to yesterday's winners... wet or dry, biltong always wins.

Tomorrow is Heritage Day, and you know what that means. Braais firing up, the whole family arriving, and a snack so South African it should probably get its own ID book. 🇿🇦

While the rest of the world was inventing snacks with names nobody can pronounce, the Khoisan were already air-drying meat to outlast the heat, and the Dutch settlers rocked up with vinegar and spice. Put them together and, a few hundred years later, here we are, quietly judging anyone who says biltong is "just dried meat".

It survived long before fridges. It survives long road trips, rugby Saturdays and that one uncle who "just takes a small piece" and finishes the packet. That is heritage you can chew on.

So do the patriotic thing and get sorted tonight. Because nobody wants to be the one who rocks up to the braai empty-handed tomorrow. Grab a packet of the good stuff and celebrate the snack that has been feeding the nation since before the nation was a nation.

Stock up on biltong and droëwors at your nearest Dry'd store today, the Feel Good Snacks that go the distance.

Now settle it before the long weekend... wet or dry? 👇

It is official. Our Cape Gate Biltong Bar has had a glow-up, and she is looking good. 😍

The new look is finally open, freshly rebranded and ready for you. Same quality biltong, droëwors and feel-good snacks you love, now with a whole new home to enjoy them in.

So do us a favour. Next time you are gliding through Cape Gate, pop past, say hi, and have a proper look around. Grab a slice of biltong for the road while you are at it (or three, we are not counting).

We cannot wait to show you around. 🤎

Before energy bars had ingredient lists you needed a science degree to read, our grandparents had dried peaches. Sun, fruit, done. 🍑

Bright, orange and unreasonably good-looking, our dried peeled peaches are basically packed Karoo sunshine. They are full of fibre to keep everything running smoothly (we will say no more), natural energy to get you through the 3 pm slump, and a good dose of vitamins that your body will quietly thank you for later.

They are also about as South African as it gets. We have been drying fruit in this sunshine for generations, long before it was trendy. So this Heritage Month, skip the snack that pretends to be healthy and reach for the one that actually is, and always has been.

Chewy, sweet, proudly local, and honestly a little addictive. Consider yourself warned.

Pop into Dry'd and grab a bag of heritage while you are at it. 🇿🇦

Nothing tastes more like home than a handful of biltong and the first whiff of the braai getting going. 🇿🇦

Heritage Day is almost here, and we reckon there's no better way to celebrate who we are than with the snacks that raised us. Proudly local, properly good, and made for sharing.

So pop into Dry'd this week and stock up before the long weekend gets going:
🥩 Biltong, sliced just the way you like it
🌶️ Droëwors for the true snoek-and-braai connoisseurs
🥜 Braai mix and peanuts to keep the whole gees going

This is snacking, the South African way. Come taste a piece of heritage with us.
