The Ultimate in Long Life Protein! BIltong!

[Binnie]

Hi guys,

Biltong is an awesome way of getting some essential nutrients.

Its a traditional south african delight,

apparently discovered when the dutch were claiming south africa, their horses were getting terrible saddle sores, to combat this they used strips of meat as padding.

the horses sweated so much that the beef became cured!



I've made biltong once or twice, and it's very easy to do!

Biltong can be kept up to 2 years if fully dried and kept dry.


To make it, i basically follwed the instructions here >> http://www.biltongbox.com/biltong.html , but instead of a 60W light bulb i used one of those £10 fan heaters you get from tesco to keep the box at approx 30c.

Biltong can be an acquired taste, but you can buy it from many places online, i reccomend susmans, at http://www.biltong.co.uk


if anyone tries it let me know what you thought!


(oh PS, silverside is by far the best to use for biltong, though they say any red meat works well)
