Definition
A dried, spiced meat snack that originated in Southern Africa, similar to jerky, made by curing and air-drying strips of beef or other meat.
Etymology
From Afrikaans 'biltong,' combining Dutch 'bil' (hindquarters or buttock of an animal) and 'tong' (tongue or strip), describing the cut and shape of this preserved meat.
Kelly Says
Biltong was born from necessity—Dutch and later Boer settlers needed portable, protein-rich food for long journeys across vast African landscapes, and the spice blends became so good that it's now a beloved snack worldwide.
