Delicious, moreish and meaty – it’s not hard to understand why biltong is one of SA’s most loved snacks. What could be easier than reaching for a savoury biltong snapstick, nibbles, sliced biltong, droëwors and even biltong powder. But why stop at snacking? Biltong is more versatile than you think; add it to soups, sandwiches, dips, patés and even pie crust, as we did with these fabulous venison biltong-and-beer pot pies.
