South African Biltong question...

[BushTucker]

Hi all

Just returned from taking mother to our local value house. We stumbled across a newly made inside shop which sold lots of south african goods, buscuits, sauces and dried sosauge!

I did however notice that on a wall in blister packs, was african biltong, at £4.50 a bag, for about 350g. Is this good?

I quite often make my own jerky from either beef or venison and have seen the silly prices of the stuff in morrisons, but is the above a good price?

Feel daft because i didnt pickup a bag just to try it.

I bought some Biltong of EBay. Tastes a lot stronger than any Jerky I have had and the flavour is a lot different. Wife can't eat it although she normally likes any Jerky I've bought or lucky enough to have been given to try.

Hi,
Some Zouth African shops sell bilton by the strips which is much better than the stuff they sell in the packets. One of my neighbors is Zouth African and now and again gets hold of the stuff and the sausges are good and then washed down with some castle larger.
(lovely)

The best biltong is made from zebra.

I prefer Kudu.
Ostrich is good too...
