    Never ever buy packaged Biltong, that’s blasphemy. 😂You buy Biltong from a butchery, and it must come in a brown paper bag. That packaged stuff is nasty…🤢

      - Green(chutney) Nik Naks
      - Sweet Chilli Frittos
      - Pink Stylos
      2. Biscuits
      - Cape Cookies Romeo Delights (I've never tasted cookies more delicious in much life!! Trust me on this! If you can't find them, then Romany Creams are also nice)
      - eat-sum-mor biscuits
      -
      3. Chocolates

      - Lunchbar
      - Nikki
      4. Drinks

    You have to try Ouma Buttermilk Rusks. DIP IT IN WARM COFFEE OR TEA (just a small piece at a time) until softened and then eat it like cookies. Ultimate winter comfort snack.
    Cheese Niknaks. Cadbury Milk Chocolate. Dipped Flake. Peppermint Crisp.
    Oh boy. Shaking my head on the biltong and snapstix selection.
    Please buy fresh biltong (the type that gets weighed). Beige pieces stuck on surface is probably coarse coriander.
    You have very 'spicy' pallets.
    I think you will enjoy Simba Ghost Pops and Doritos.
    For us Simba chips is not bland at all. Too much seasoning will turn most of these flavours into very unhealthy snacks. We have cheap chips brands that are so full of colourants and 'seasonings', that the children walk around with stained tongues. Those are very flavourful of course and extremely unhealthy.
    Also, please try milk tart,the type that has cinnamon sprinkled on top, and the baked type as well.
    Enjoy.

    Just a Disclaimer: If you tell any South African that knows what Jerky is as well that Biltong is the same as beef jerky they might just fight you🤣. The process is very different in making the 2 and quality biltong is by far better than Jerky (in my biased South African opinion😁). Regardless though great video and thanks for trying our snacks!
    But yeah go to a nice butcher and ask for "Geelvet Biltong" that is still slightly wet (or it can be bone dry that is all preference). And also ask for Droëwors and chili-bites. You can technically make a whole episode of the kinds of biltong and dried meat goodies we as South Africans produce.

    Here's a shopping list too redeem yourself:
    Ask around, everyone in SA has their Best Butchers, which if budget permits, they'll buy at always.
    When you're there:
    * Ask for a selection of biltong. Not just dry/medium/wet... They differ in taste quite a bit.
    * Droëwors. Plain. Nothing with the word 'stick' in it. Also if they've got a Thick version, grab a small piece. Some butchers have their special recipies. (Be sure to confirm pork content though.)
    * If you're up for it, some(most?) have, what is often called a "babelas mix"... It's an amazing mix of all the odd-bits, in weighing packaging, with some extra spice.

    Snacks here are likes snacks everywhere except Biltong, but I’d suggest going to a few restaurants cause we have a few dozen cultures, Hombaze for some traditional African dishes, there’s traditional Indian and new dishes like bunny chows, joburgs got a good amount of Lebanese, Italians, Chinese and Portuguese people so you’ll never go wrong there, if you want a ridiculous amount of meat the Carnivore Restaurant never disappoints. If you haven’t tried a pie from Woolworths or any petrol station shop then definitely prioritise that cause I don’t think Americans have pies right?

    South Africans don't drink Bos tea, I have never drunk it and the choice of sweets was also not our everyday go to sweets. We never eat pre-packed biltong it's dry and disgusting, we only buy that if we desperate or it's on a good special. It has to be wet and fatty and bought from a butcher. The chips were good choices to try out and the biscuits. Should have tried chocolate, the chocolate unlike American chocolate is made from real milk. (Stayed in America for two years and the jerky tasted like meat soaked in sugar and dried out using a machine, not hung like biltong to dry naturally and the Hershey chocolate smells like vomit when you open it but could be the closest thing to chocolate in America). Cabruary and Nestle chocolate, not just the plan but all different flavors is a must, not beacon so much that tastes a bit fake but you can try it for the experience. Milktart, pancakes with cinnamon and sugar inside, koeksisters, that is some real South African food. Breyani, vetkoek, curry and rice, roti's, fish and chips (at the coast is so fresh) and a braai made from wood or charcoal, not gas with at least 5 different meats. South Africans aren't as big on snacks and takeaways, but love real cooked meals, get to taste that and share it with people of all cultures then you have experienced South Africa and it's food.

    Don't buy biltong out a sealed bag - get biltong from a biltong store in a brown paper bag - those are the best, it's usually more expensive though, but well worth it. Try the chili biltong if you like spice.
    Also, it's pronounced "Mah-ree Biscuit" - it's one of our South African legendary treats. We usually eat them with margarine. Basically, you wanna make an Oreo with them with margarine in the center and then dip it in tea. Well, at least this is the way we eat them in KZN.

    You’ll see a counter where some men in aprons and hairnets are standing. You can even tell them you’re American and you’ve never tried biltong before. I’m sure they’ll be happy to let you try out some of their selection. But just make sure you try the plain beef biltong! Thanks for your awesome videos guys!

    You want to get biltong from a proper butchery, not Pick n Pay - and yes, you can find it in pepper flavour, it just isn't that common. Did you try rusks? Make sure you dip them in your tea/coffee or they'll destroy your teeth. Milk tart is another iconic South African dessert. Marie biscuits are great for making smores - not iconically South Africa, but a great after-braai snack using South African biscuits. If you go to Durban or Cape Town, both have their own iconic dishes that aren't as easy to find in JHB - a bunny chow is iconic, but hard to find a good one in JHB. Cape Malay curries are also really good, but hard to find outside of the Cape.
