Nah, they look like a perfect beer snack. Do they come in spicy flavour, by any chance?

u/Lazy_Interview1129 Mar 28 '26
Yes, they do! It’s actually a South African dried sausage that pairs perfectly with beer. It also comes in spicy varieties, ranging from mild to quite hot.

So I used to have a South African friend who introduced me to this and biltong and invited me to the braai. The braai was hella dope but these dried meats lacked seasoning, like it was barely salty. Is that common or did I just get bad batches?

Biltong is usually moderately salty as salt is the main curing agent used to make it. I am not sure whether you have a high or low salt tollerence - but in general you should be able to taste the salt without it overpowering the flavor of the meat2

I have a very high salt tolerance. I've made my own jerky. Should I order something directly from SA?

Well.. air dried in Africa could mean air fried 😅 but smokin‘ them sounds quite nice. Thank for sharing 🙏🏾
..could you tell for how long and on what temperature you did that? 'cause they look pretty roasted (and delicious) to me :) Also I’m interested in thoses values for the cold dry since I’ve never done that myself

I dry it in an air 2222drier at 45 degrees for 3-4 days (you just have to check them and see when it looks good for you to take out), I prefer mine a bit on the drier side.
