South Africa Update: Rump Strips
Word today is that Dad has lost his mind (must be the heat, no?). He has been eating and drinking things far from his usual meat, potatoes and beer. Who knows how long this might last. Next thing we’ll hear is that he loves pasta, cheese and garlic (actually, he does like garlic, he just doesn’t know it). Susan messaged me that she and Dad were eating something called “biltong” and drinking orange, mango and pawpaw juice. What I’m wondering is what else might be in that juice.
According to Wikipedia:
“Biltong is a kind of cured meat that originated in South Africa. Many different types of meat are used to produce it, ranging from beef through game meats to fillets of ostrich from commercial farms. It is typically made from raw fillets of meat cut into strips following the grain of the muscle, or flat pieces sliced across the grain. It is similar to beef jerky in that they are both spiced, dried meats, but differ in their typical ingredients, taste and production process. The word biltong is from the Dutch bil (“rump”) and tong (“strip” or “tongue”).“
Mmmm, yum. <Blech>
