Re: Biltong stokkies
Do they only do beef biltong in Australia?
Not meaning to be spoilt, but I want Springbok Biltong, we used to chew on that on our day tours and drink it with Windhoek lager. And once you start on a bag of biltong, before you know it you have eaten it all and your mouth has dried out completely.

The best is Elephant biltong - but that's another, controversial story..........

Re: Biltong stokkies
When we first landed in Namibia, we were taken by car to our accommodation and one thing that really amused me, was people waiting by the side of the road with their shopping for a bus - no proper bus stop, and then close to them would be a few wild baboons and I had heard that the baboons sometimes steal the shopping.
That always made me giggle seeing the baboons so close to humans, just knowing they would mug them for their food.

On our tour bus, we were doing the long drive to Etosha and we were over taken by this Ostrich, it was the funniest thing ever watching this huge bird running along, I almost could imagine it wearing cycling shorts, whilst listening to an ipod as it ran by.
Do you miss SA? I would give anything to revisit Namibia and see other parts of Africa as well.

Re: Biltong stokkies
what does this biltong stuff taste like?
Someone offered me a piece but it reminded me of the chewy stuff I give my dog so I passed up on it

They sell cuttle fish biltong at the Foodworks near where I work (is there a vomit smiley?).
Strangely enough when I asked the Asian shopkeeper about it, he said its not a huge seller....

Re: Biltong stokkies
We were talking about this over the weekend. Has anyone attempted to make biltong from kangaroo meat? Surely there is a gap in the market? We eat kangaroo steaks regularly and buy biltong regularly, so its only a matter of time.....
ps. my fave biltong is Ostrich, yum.
