1. Husker Du is not metal, they're like hard college rock! Btw Candy Apple Gray - not a bad album
2. I hate Jerky, so I'm not South African then
3. There's some wierd names (suburbs and towns) out there is Australia: Humpty Doo, Kentucky Bluegrass, Yorkey's Knob, Iron Knob, Tin Can Bay. Except they're not that wierd to me.
We don't eat jerky in South Africa either. Jerky is similar to our biltong, but not at all the same thing. _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.
The meat used can be much thicker, typically biltong meat is cut in strips approx 1 inch wide - but can be thicker. Jerky is always very thin meat.
The vinegar in biltong has at least as much to do with the preservation of the meat as the salt and drying process as it chemically 'cooks' the meat, further helping to preserve as well as adding texture and flavour. Jerky is traditionally just salted and dried.
I've never actually had jerky, it's not available in SA, so I can't compare tastes. But apparently jerky is sweeter than biltong. _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.
Jerky is usually pretty thin -- maybe half a centimeter, for you metric types? Most of the time you find it heavily flavored with red pepper, but teriyaki and jalapeno are popular, too. Teriyaki is the only one I would characterize as "sweet", but if you are used to a vinegar flavor, I suppose plain meat jerky tastes proportionally sweeter. _________________ An apple a day....

Yes, biltong is considerably thicker, at least a centimeter, and usually more. I guess jerky, at least in terms of appearance, can be compared to our chili bites, which is basically also biltong, but chili flavoured, and cut in thin strips before being dried. _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken.
