Biltong in central Texas! yes... real biltong

[Zinz]

After hearing about it from a friend, I stopped in to Brett's Biltong in Llano. What a slice of safari heaven... Windhoek Lager by the case and real, honest to goodness biltong in several varieties; traditional, chili, and Carolina Reaper HOT. They have droewors, meat pies, annnnnnd... homemade rusks. They sell all sorts of imported goodies from RSA and 3-legged cook pots and on, and on...

I realized very quickly afterwards that I didn't buy enough because it didn't last long.

If you're in the central Texas region, it is definitely worth the trip to visit them.

Now I’m craving rusk and red tea for breakfast.

Wife and I fell in love with it on our first safari and Roibos has been a staple in our house ever since.

Tried several times to make rusk but it never came out quite right. Might have to give it another shot.

If youre in NTX/DFW Anton's has some of the best biltong and droewors Ive ever eaten... Theyre a full blown South African grocery and meat market.. a little on the pricey side.. but absolutely delicious.. they also have a variety of rusk products..

For any of the guys (and gals) that came to the @Bos en Dal SAFARIS party we had during DSC back in January, the biltong that was being passed around at the party was from Antons..

A friend of mine from RSA gave me his old family recipe and it was just about perfection. I watched a couple of YouTube videos on the technique to get them just shy of rock hard and deliciousness.

Anton's... I will have to make a trip up there.. I hear there are several African markets in the southwest part of Houston.

Amazon is a good source for your African cravings. Several good biltong options. Ouma rusks are easy to find. I've been craving and buying African condiments lately including several varieties of Nando's sauces. I found the braai salt in the orange bottle. There are plenty of good options for rooibos.

Thanks for sharing this.

Wish I saw this a week ago when I was driving through Llano. Guess I’ll be stopping on my next trip through there.

A friend brought me several bags of Brett's Biltong. It was exceptional. Highly recommended.

I’ve made Biltong at home in a cabinet with an exhaust fan. Tasted more like Beef than plains game but I think the spice blend was good.
Will do again with Australian Venison.
Rusks, well I ate plenty of those in South Africa. The PH was telling me they are for dunking, I’ve dunked a ton of biscuits in my time.
My wife has made Rusks, not as good as the ones the cook made on Safari.
Since coming home I have found a few Soth African grocery lines. My favourite is Mrs Balls Original Chutney. I like it on eggs when we have a cooked breakfast.

I guess I’ll have to stop on my next trip to visit the in-laws!

Like many I fell in love with biltong and rusks. I figured out a rusk recipe that works well enough (though not as good as in camp). I think I’ll try to use some bison and make biltong this year.

57 degrees and sitting on the back porch of the family ranch listening to the woods wake up. Enjoying homemade Rusks from Brett’s Biltong in Llano.

If I concentrate I can almost hear the cackling of Francoline and the drone of doves…

Welkom USA is another place to buy import SA products.

I buy Freshpak brand rooibos tea from there; they also carry some of the infused flavor rooibos teas you normally dont see in safari camps but in SA shops.

Anton's is moving to Sunset TX, just off HWY 287. It will be about 45 mins or so from us.

Safe hunting

Angus Biltong in Spring is another excellent spot for biltong/droewors, rusks, and a small RSA grocery!
