I have come across this famous food many times when reading my books but never thought I would be able to experience the taste for myself.
Imagine my suprise when in my local Tesco yesterday I saw packets on the shelf, well I simply had to buy some.

Of course I needed something to accompany it!

I can say the Biltong has a splendid spicy taste but it does takes some chewing and good tooth pick is recommended!
As for the wine, pure nectar!

I think boerewors is available in Tesco if not try the Springbok shop in London. Don't forget the export Castle Lager as well Cheers Adrian Part time researcher of the Cape Police and C.P.G Regiment.
