We called it BILTONG - do you call it Jerky - do you eat it

gratitude @gratitude (181) • South Africa 8 Apr 08

I had a friend come to visit from the UK. We tried to give her a true south african experience. Most of her meals were of South african origin. We offered her what we call Biltong (beef) and she called it Jerky! She spat it out...

Ajaxus I eat jerky from time to time, trying to buy a smoker so I can get into making my own. A friend gave me a recipe years ago that I need to dig up, but it involved curing the meat in some apple juice and other spices..definitely sounded interesting.

Ajaxus In the summertime I bbq several times a week. We do everything from chicken to fish to bison. Bison meat is our replacement for beef, one of the doctors I work with raises buffalo for slaughter so we get a good price on it. It tastes much better than beef and...

Ajaxus Keeping an open mind is something I was raised by. I think if you allowed yourself to hear what they are talking about without trying to understand or believe it would help you come to a better level of understanding of religion. Exposing yourself to people...

keelymcilwain @keelymcilwain (797) • Canada 7 Apr 08

I know a lot of people that are on Dating sites. What do you guys think? Are you a member? Have you found love through one of these sites? What would you say if you knew your teen was on a site like these? Would you create a fake...

Ajaxus I actually joined match.com a month ago today, and while it's been slow moving over there I do find myself impressed with the types of people on their site. Most of them are those that are fed up with games and looking for something that could turn serious,...

Ajaxus I really stick to the microbrewery just down the street from me. Their beers are top notch and closely mirror some of the best European brews. And if all works out, I'll be standing behind their bar this summer topping off the pitchers.. ;) And speaking...

Cops line the street to bust an high school party, but noone was tested for being drunk, the keg was filled with Root Beer, the kid that hosted the party is trying to show kids that you dont have to drink to have fun at a party. I...

Ajaxus Last I saw that article (about the time it was published) it said they had given a breathalizer to all 98 kids at the party just to be sure. Reason being, if by chance one of them WAS drinking, and they weren't all tested and something happened..the cops would...
