For some, Heritage Day wouldn’t be Heritage Day without a choppie and a doppie. For others, it merely means standing around a smoky braai “chewing the fat” for hours before chewing anything, which is usually raw chicken and burnt boerie.
If you fear that you’re going to be dragged to one of these dreaded occasions, make sure you drag these low-carb pumpkin fritters along, the other guests will thank you for it.
