    Biltong????

    Was on Pinterest the other day and noticed a cured meat called biltong. Orginates from South Africa. I am doing mine in the fridge since I don't have a dry box.

    Anyone else heard of it or done it?

      Read any of the Peter Capstick books and he eats it all the time. African big game hunter.

        Well I though, I got an abundance of Elk meat right now, so I grabbed an eye round and am trying it. Just worried about the botulism aspect and keeping it clean from all that

          Interested to hear how it turns out. I was always intrigued due to Capstick speaking of it frequently.

            Also interested in how it turns out, I've never made it but the stuff I had in SA was much better than jerky.

              I ate it while I was in South Africa. I thought it was good, but I prefer Jerky

                  I ate quite a bit of it on my second trip to Zimbabwe, my PH was really high on the stuff. It was ok but I like my jerky better.

                    Couldn't get a full picture to upload but I have two like this. My worry is I didn't add enough salt or enough didn't stick. But time will tell. These are both bout 14 inches long

                      I have tried it , and did not care for it at all. Worst way to " fix" meat there is. Jerky, hamburger, stew meat ,any thing is better to use it on rather then waste it.

                            From what I saw on hunting shows, the process (flies crawling all over it while it was drying) would keep me from ever eating it. No personal experience, but if that's how it's all "made", include me out.
