Biltong - where to get the best?
I am in Joburg at the moment. I bought a bag of biltong from woolworths which was perfectly pleasant but nothing special. Last night was dinner at the Meat Company in melrose arch so I bought some of their biltong to take away. Haven't tried it yet but it looks pretty good. Bought it in a whole strip which they then chopped and vac packed for me which is great as I can take it back to London.
Any other places I should check out? Anyone know what the biltong is like at the Butcher Shop in Nelson Mandela square?
If I get one reply I'll be surprised but it's worth a try!

The Biltong at Buthers shop is fantastic. They have a chilli one, and also game meat ones. The great thing is you can try it before you buy. Also they will shred it, slice it, or lop off a hunk for you to buy. I always bring back at least 1/2 a kilo for my mates at home, and it lasts a few days.

You should try the biltong at Checkers (grocers) in Sandton City - it is cut freshly - always better than the pre-packed stuff! But I don't think you'll go wrong with the Meat Company or Butcher Shop either.

Anyone in Toronto should definitely give The Biltong Boykie a try. www.thebiltongboykie.com - really authentic and great taste.
