I admit it, I had to look up the difference between jerky and biltong, because I guess I’m not up on food trends right now.

According to Wikipedia (although you all probably already knew this):
Biltong differs from jerky in four distinct ways:

  • The meat used in biltong is often much thicker due to the slower drying time in dry air conditions; typically, biltong meat is cut in strips around 25 millimetres (0.98 in) wide, but can be thicker. Jerky is normally very thin meat.
  • The vinegar, salt, and spices in biltong, together with the drying process, cure the meat as well as adding texture and flavour. Jerky is traditionally dried with salt, but without vinegar.
  • Jerky is often smoked; biltong is rarely smoked.[17]
  • Biltong normally does not contain any sugar additives, while jerky most of the time does.

Yeah, I can’t ever keep jerky lit.

I tried Brooklyn Biltong from my local grocers.
Really liked it. It was very thin, still moist, not smoked and packaged like fresh deli. $6 for 1.5 oz, I think.
The recipe came from So Africa.
Not as fond of the thicker/chunkier style this seems to be.
