Biltong
Biltong is like jerky, but it comes from South Africa.
Imagine you have a piece of meat, like a steak. When you cook a steak, it gets all brown and crispy on the outside, right? Well, biltong is kind of like that, but instead of cooking it, you take the moisture out of it.
So, you start with a piece of meat, like beef, and you cut it into thin strips. Then you rub some spices on it, like salt and pepper, and maybe some other flavors too.
After that, you hang the meat strips up to dry. This is a long process that takes a few days to a few weeks, depending on how thick the strips are. As the meat dries out, it loses all its water and gets harder and tougher.
Once the meat is completely dry, it's ready to eat! Biltong can be a healthy snack because it's high in protein and low in fat. Plus, it's delicious!
