New snack in the UK

JdC · 11th June 2008, 00:01

Does anyone have info on a new snack which I've been told is sweeping the UK.

I think it's called Bor-hog or a trade name which sounds like that.

One person said it was like dried meat, but another says it's chicken pieces which have to be kept chilled.

I have carried out a web search but cannot find anything like it.

I may not have the spelling correct, but it appears to be pronounced Bor-hog.

It's a while since I was in the UK, and this appears to be a fairly new "Fad".

Can anyone throw light on this please?

You don't mean "biltong" do you? It is a dried meat - originates from South Africa - which is being sold some places as a snacky type thing. Actually it is quite tasty!

Biltong is a kind of dried meat that originated in South Africa. Many kinds of flesh can be used to make it, ranging from beef through game meats to fillets of ostrich from commercial farms. It is typically made from raw fillets of meat cut into strips following the grain of the muscle, or flat pieces sliced across the grain. It is similar to beef jerky in that they are both spiced, dried meats but differs significantly in typical ingredients, taste and production process. The word biltong is from the Dutch bil ("rump") and tong ("strip" or "tongue").[

Just found this on the internet to describe biltong.

I have seen those snack things advertised on tv but can't remember what they are called!
