Maybe they thought a cow would grow.
No Way Not all us Brits are that daft, just some of us!

My mate from Joburg got me into biltong and piri sauce

Im hungry now

I love Biltong.. can't believe they did that.. how odd!

I got into Biltong when I was younger as the Jewish Deli's sell it as there is kosher biltong as well (Im jewish). Then I forgot all about it until Sainsburys started selling the beef jerky packets.. then our SA friend here got us back into billtong with a good website he knows.. and also finding a jewish deli that delivers and also sells it... mmmmmmm

Nice to know someone other than a South African loves biltong. My Grandfather used to make the most divine biltong when he was still alive.

We're really lucky here as you can get it almost anywhere. A bit pricey but well worth it. Give me biltong anyday rather than sweets(except licorice allsorts).

Strange things do happen and people really do the weirdest things..
