Dehydrated bovine

Who knows how the stuff grows in Chile, by all accounts the seeds don't exist! At first you might think not a bad thing, as there will be less of those green leaves that taste like stinkbugs, the type TV chefs like to toss on just about anything. You got it - Coriander. Hmmm it should be a happy day that one doesn't find coriander (well the leaves at least), but ever since the Chile custom officials got up my nose by confiscating my biological threat to Chilean agriculture and farming my quest has been biltong revenge. MMmmwwwaaaahahaha! But coriander is to biltong like red is to Ferrari, so the search began.. Supermarkets, ja right... chances! but some little witch like lady who sells stalks and leaves outside knows of a spot near the station...hmmm. After putting out the word, coriander was located in Europe, and then just my luck, a local source, delivered in a small plastic bag on the corner of the street. The merchandise was tested and voila! Coriander in Chile!

Somewhere between memory, internet search and the trusty taste buds the mixture was concocted, marinated and hung. It has been a week, not too shabby, next time less pepper, less sugar and a bit more salt, maybe marinade for longer... nice! Uncannily healthy too, contrary to common knowledge biltong is also very high in vitamin C, well it is when you buy the whole sack of oranges to keep the flies off.

Sack of organges comes in handy, well at least the sack part... can one get a vitamin C overdose?
































Now I just need some good cricket or rugby.

Glossary:
Coriander - Also know as Cilantro this side of the Atlantic
Biltong - South African dried salted meat, an essential sport watching companion. No! not like jerky - that stuff is gross. No! not like charque either - that stuff looks too gross to get close to.
