TIME TO MEAT
Brooklyn Biltong is the brainchild of Ben, a Southerner who moved with his family to New York. They introduced some of their American friends to Biltong, who became addicts and demanded more. What is Biltong? Well it’s not exactly jerky, having a very different structure and taste. The biggest differences are the way it is cut and the way it is dried. Biltong is cut with the grain, giving you a more tender, steak like piece of meat. Also, the drying process of biltong is with dry air, compared to jerky that gets dried mostly by heat. This gives biltong a pretty authentic taste that is true to the beef that it is and does not have a sweet taste. For those of you interested, Brooklyn Biltong has offered up a 20 percent discount code for a one-time purchase with no expiration date. Use the phrase “TACTICALMEAT” when checking out. ($7.99-$35; brooklynbiltong.com)
