A proud local woman’s first attempt at a classic South African delicacy, biltong, resulted in an online sensation and widespread praise.
The fascinating post, shared on Reddit by @Minute-Conference-86, showcased impressive DIY talent and culinary success, attracting many comments from social media users who were impressed by her first attempt.
The post features a picture of the finished product: a homemade biltong. The outside of the meat was nicely coated in seasoning, still moist, and boasted a pink colour on the inside, with visible fat on top. The high quality of her first batch was evident and could easily be mistaken for biltong from major grocery stores.

She was very proud of her successful attempt, which she made at her township home. She noted that her next batch would be even better, as she planned to use less seasoning. The humorous DIY queen finished her clip by stating that all she needed now was khaki clothes (traditional farmer's attire) to complete her new persona.

"As a Xhosa guy from the lalis (village), I'm joining you in this, very soon. I've been looking at all the things needed, and I saw Pick'n Pay has ready-to-hang steaks. I saw someone mentioned they had to buy a bulb for their dryer, and that just confused me now."
User @Effective-Bit-500 shared:
"I've also been making Biltong lately. I buy 2kg (Cut into 8 pieces), place it in vinegar for 3 to 5 hours, and leave it to dry for 3 and a half to 4 days. I like my biltong more wet. (I use silverside and my own select spices)."
