Lions, Zebra's and Elephants!

tradtusker,

I've got to disagree with you about african lion...the steaks I was fortunate enough to have, though frozen for quite a while, were absolutely delicious.

I don't know if that was isolated or the norm-only have one experience to go by- but based on that I'd have it again whenever offered.

Know I will spell this wrong, but I think any meat made into biltong or boerewors(sp?) would be good!

Made me a biltong box and know gotta go pick me a sausage stuffer for boerewors. Though I will be stuck using more mundane meats!.

One of my Firemen is married to a South African and her Father makes the stuff alot.

J-Dog,

The spelling is perfect! The difference between just a normal beef sausage and Boerewors is the spice mix, you gotta get that right. Don't be affraid of using corriander, thats what gives it the unique flavour. I presume you're talking about the fresh type for BBQing and not the dried type like Biltong? Oh, and the best wors has sheep fat in it, to keep it moist while BBQing it.

I've liked all the bear I've had, but I hear it depends on what they were eating how well they taste.  My kids like it too.

Yeppers love the coriander - sheep fat is hard to come by here though I have been able to get my hands on some as of late. Fresh type on the grill!!!!!!!!!!! Oh man aint that some good stuff! course I like it dried too, but in this humid climate drying is difficult - I am re working my box to be smaller and incorporate a dehumidifier.
I shoulda been South African though talking with folks from their they say stay in the states! LOL

Bear meat is awesome - BUT preparation is key there
I have heard South africans call fat "white speck"??? where does that come from? just wonderin.

Great post by the way, Yeah Boesman I am like you  - any run of the mill antelope will do me fine.
