南非燒烤。第二章 South African Braai Part II
Food2gather又要在台中再次舉辦南非燒烤囉！燒烤，是南非一種非常普遍的社交聯誼活動，深受南非人的喜愛，材料以香腸為主 (Gerhard自製南非香腸，內有豬肉和牛肉，加入各種香料包括荳蔻、茴香、丁香、大蒜等，加以調味)，可以說是跨越種族與社經地位的美食，也是一場可以完美詮釋Food2gather概念的美食饗宴。在Gerhard家頂樓生火，慢烤，一同聊天，堪稱人間美味。因此Food2gather很高興主廚 Gerhard 準備再次大展身手，為大家呈現道地南非燒烤給喜愛美食的大家 :) 讓大家一起一邊烤肉一邊聊天吧！

ABOUT OUR CHEF
哈囉，我是Judy，是Food2gather 的共同創辦人，曾是Gerhard的學生，我眼中的Gerhard，是一個嚴肅且認真的老師。後來才知道，他的嚴肅是因為他在大學畢業後，被徵召入伍成為軍官，曾率領著一整個連在邊境參加南非與安哥拉的戰爭，三年後才以中尉身分退伍。退伍後一個人從南非沿路教英文，就這樣一年半後橫越了非洲... 自此，異鄉是故鄉。後來來到台灣，在外貿協會擔任商業英文教師超過十五年，他居住在台灣，生活在台灣已經二十年了，台灣儼然成為他第二個故鄉。Reon 也是外貿協會的英文教師，幾乎所有被Gerhard 和Reon 教導過的學生都曾去他們家中BBQ過。我想那是老師們歡迎我們，與他的家鄉南非連結的一個方式。因此當我得知Gerhard 和Reon願意讓Food2gather其他朋友去他們家參與道地的南非BBQ，我非常感動。
Hi! I am Judy, Food2gather’s co-founder and one of Gerhard’s students at ITI, and here is my view of Gerhard and Reon’s story.
In Gerhard’s classes, I have always seen Gerhard as a strict and disciplined teacher. I later learned that Gerhard was drafted into the army after he graduated from university in SA. He later became a military officer, who led a unit at the South African Border War against Angola, and retired as a lieutenant three years later. I guess this explains why he is so disciplined. After he retired from the army, he became an English teacher, teaching English along the way... and across the whole Africa. Gerhard left his hometown and came to Taiwan, now he is the Business English Instructor at International Trade Institute, TAITRA, in Taiwan for more than 15 years. Reon is also is a teacher in ITI, and became the English Coordinator for IBAP (Taichung Campus) in June, 2014.
Gerhard and Reon have been living in Taiwan for more than 20 years, and Taiwan has become their second home. Almost all the students Gerhard or Reon taught have been to their house for Braai one time or another. I believe the reasons why they host so many Braai events, are both to welcome and share SA tradition with us and also to stay connected to their native SA roots. I was very touched when I hear that they are willing to host authentic SA Braais for Food2gather. Just come over, and enjoy this Braai together :)
