Steemit Sandwich Contest Week 51 - BBQ Sandwich Parcels aka Braai Broodjie - BBQ sans meat

Barbeque conjures up images of meat sizzling and smoking over a hot fire - beef steaks, spare ribs, lamb chops etc etc, the list is endless.

Here in South Africa with our mild climate, any excuse is used to have a BBQ or a Braai as we call it. So last week when we took a breakaway with friends down the south coast of Kwazulu Natal, the fires were lit daily on our balcony.
Besides listening to the waves breaking on the sea-shore, there is nothing as relaxing as sitting next to a crackling fire on a cold winter's night.

Braai Broodjie (Afrikaans term for BBQ Toasted Sandwich) popped up for our lunch menu, and I thought of sharing it here with @jaybird and all his Sandwiteers for SSC Week 51.

Weber Braai (BBQ) waiting to be used - the sun is out and the ocean is peeking at us in the distance but we need to eat.

Bread is buttered on one side - this will be the outside of our braai broodjie.
First layer on our braai broodjie is a generous amount of strong mature Cheddar Cheese.

Wet some string and use to make a sandwich parcel and it's ready to be toasted over the hot coals, fillings safe and secure with the help of the string.
