Type: Cured meat
I’ve never heard of biltong until this book, so I had no idea what it was. Biltong is a form of cured meat that is cured with salt and vinegar which is then air-dried so it lasts a lifetime. Various meats such as game and beef are used to produce it.
Biltong is related to beef jerky given that they are both dried and spiced meats.
Would I eat it?: Eh!

I’d try it, since I love beef jerky so much. But I’m not a huge fan of vinegar, so I might hate it! But I’m willing to give anything a try. I was just watching a travel vlog on Youtube about Peru and they were talking about how Peruvians love eating guinea pigs. Compared to that, biltong seems quite normal. 🙂

I’m with you on the vinegar. What’s the strangest thing that you’ve ever eaten? Haha! I’ll stay away from cuy if I ever travel to Peru.

Chicken feet…the weirdest thing I ate that doesn’t sound weird but was super weird. I’ll never eat them again. But what is strange? Something strange to me might be completely normal to someone else!

I ate chicken feet when I was younger. I don’t think I can ever eat it again.
