If you like Biltong, may I recommend a local supplier to me in Heywood "Bobs Biltong" I seem to think us bushcrafters love the stuff after making an off the cuff comment at the last Middlewood meet about popping to the shop for some... (I left the site with almost £100 in orders).

Well here is a link to Bobs and may I thoroughly recommend the Chilli sticks and his Boerwors. No connection, just a happy customer :D

LOL I was hooked on the stuff by the time I got back from SA, found it hard, nigh on impossible to find over here, very pleased to see sellers popping up all over, and spreading North, thanks for the link.

Ditto!!

I have family out there who we visited for a month over Xmas about 2004 and was given some to try and also been hooked ever since.

Nowadays I seem to prefer the snapstick variety from Biltongdirect.com however I do make my own full Biltong in my biltong box from time to time. I'm planning on getting a shelf dehydrator so I can make a big bulk of the snapsticks :)

making your own is much cheaper and you can make your own spice mixes..... making it yourself costs less than half the price of buying!

I was speaking to the lady behind the counter, and she said when I want some just give the shop a call and I can pop round after work, but they shut at 5pm , but I cant get there until 5:30 during the week.. she said she'll wait till 6pm :)
