Dude I love jerky and stuff is biltong the same? Props on doing it, looked like a cool thing to try out though I can't touch or cut raw meat or stuff (yeah, i know it's weird!) so I couldn't do it myself!

Biltong's South African. It's dried just like jerky, but it's cut differently, dried thicker and cured with vinegar as well as salt.
From Wikipedia: "It is similar to beef jerky in that they are both spiced, dried meats but differs significantly in typical ingredients, taste and production process."

It's traditionally heavy on the corriander and we made it to my South African friends family recipe while he was over here. It takes a while to dry but it's well worth it!

You cut it thick like this, and when you eat it you make sure it's thinly sliced. You can also cut it differently before you cure it and eat it as snap sticks.

It's quite hard to get hold of over here as it's actually illegal to import. Friggin' idiotic. All the stuff you get is made in the UK, and it's easiest to find in London - it's full of South Africans!

PS : The South Africans are the bald guy and the dude in the cap!

Awesome, it sounds really nice and even better than normal jerky. I love corriander too! I'll have to have a look for some if I go down to the London area as I have some family nearby.
