Biltong

[BaGearA]

Went to the butcher I always use last week. They had a special(well that's what they said it was). 3kilos of silverside for R240. So I bought 6 kilos. Hung the first batch on Saturday morning. Cut one piece the normal size and the rest thin stripes. By Sunday afternoon a lot of it was pretty much ready to eat. But 3 kilos is actually too much for my dryer. I had previously made extra hooks out of stainless bicycle spokes and used all my hooks and some hooks had to put 2 strips on. 2nd batch went in on Monday evening. 

 

Sorry for the lousy pics, The glare was hectic.

You are low on lemos..hahaha....come to think of it, I have struggled to get lemos or anything other than Orange. They have a limited edition one a while back. Something like Orange lime and it was lekker but haven't seen it again

The last few weeks my local PnP hyper has had Orange, Lemon, Naartjie and CocoSomething. Sommer bought all but coco.

 

Edit: Limited edition sounds lekker. Pity I never saw it. Would have tried it out.

That's a good price. My next batch will be game. Either kudu or rooibok. My butcher has but it's not as cheap as yours.

I posted this in the woodworking thread a while back but appropriate enough here. Made this biltong cutter from Red Ivory.

A mate of mine moved to Norway just over 2 years ago, he says the thing he misses the most is Oros for some strange reason.
