Was that a real puffadder or the puffadder as in the "african hunters cook book?" In the book it has a recipie for a puff adder but it is made from liver and other stuff. | |||

Common Reedbuck living in Sourveld Grassland. Southern Natal and East Griqualand. Rib Eye or Biltong. Nothing comes close for texture, flavour and versatility. | |||

Biltong of any sort is hard to beat I think, especially kudu, although warthog is not bad either! As for fresh, I think buffalo or eland steaks are awesome! I agree that the way a lot of game is prepared and the age of the animal, etc has a lot to do with the taste. A slow-cooked spit-braai with a good marinade injected at regular intervals throughout is always a winner, especially for warthog. Even conventionally braaied chops or steaks always seems to taste that much better to me than any other cooking style. Croc was quite nice, although a bit rich and over-smothered in sauce. Sometimes game that has been roasted can turn out being a bit dry, tough and gamey, but I think that has had a lot to do again with age, preparation and cooking times, etc. As for other foods, ishwa or harvester termite flying ants fried up in butter are actually very tasty, although a bit crunchy! They taste a bit like pork crackling, but they are not for everyone, I suppose, better to try them whilst blind-folded. Fresh self-caught fish, especially bream fillets in a good batter fried up are also tops for me. | |||

Of the ones I've eaten, which include Kudu, Oryx, Eland, Zebra, Impala, Ostrich, Warthog, Springbok, and probably some others I've forgotten, I'd say that Kudu, Oryx and Zebra were by far the best, depending on presentation, of course. If I had to choose one, it would probably be oryx but it would be a very close call. Contrary to what many seem to think, I've had Eland quite a few times, I find it to be bland and relatively unappealing. It is my opinion that people who prefer eland really don't like game meat very much. Since we eat whitetail venison 52 weeks a year on my ranch, I don't fit that category. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

Most all of the PG I've eaten was very good; Nyala loins on the braai (sp?), bushbuck, Springbok, etc., but the king of all I've eaten was the Bontebok, hands down. No wonder they were nearly extinct in the past. Fabulous flavor, texture and tender. LDK ps: I should mention candied Hummingbird wings are the bomb!

Folks I'll vote again for fresh Tommy chops followed by leopard tenderloin and Western hartebeest all grilled over an open fire. Oh! My! Gourmet. Of course hippo, lion, zebra and all the rest are fine eating also. Puff adder on the other hand as an appetizer is not good. Bon appetit!!! Mark MARK H.

I'll put Bontebok up against any red meat in Africa, and most of the antelope's, birds, fish and all that are good if the cook is experienced and no field or cooking problems are encountered. I dare say few US hunters have had the pleasure of eating Bontebok but until you do....

I've not eaten bontebok, but I have enjoyed eating blesbok filets over the years. They were excellent, but I can't imagine that there is any difference in the taste of two races of the same species. It would be like saying Chobe bushbuck meat tastes better than an identical cut from a Limpopo bushbuck. My vote stays with backstrap of eland. Bill Quimby | |||

Bill, I've eaten Blesbok many times and in a variety of dishes. It is outstanding venison. However, the first two times I ate Bontebok it was grilled fillets over mopane coals cooked medium rare, the third it was a roast. Similar to some of the finer cuts of African Antelope but I still rank it at the top. It had zero gamey flavor, even slight. I used a chutney with the roast. Absolutely any gourmet game recipe depends upon the field care and the chef, although if hungry enough and ample quantities of liquor is consumed, I believe a satisfying meal could be made from Civit Gray Ghost Hunting Safaris http://grayghostsafaris.com Phone: 615-860-4333 Email: hunts@grayghostsafaris.com NRA Benefactor DSC Professional Member SCI Member RMEF Life Member NWTF Guardian Life Sponsor NAHC Life Member Rowland Ward - SCI Scorer Took the wife the Eastern Cape for her first hunt: http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6881000262 Hunting in the Stormberg, Winterberg and Hankey Mountains of the Eastern Cape 2018 http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4801073142 Hunting the Eastern Cape, RSA May 22nd - June 15th 2007 http://forums.accuratereloadin...=810104007#810104007 16 Days in Zimbabwe: Leopard, plains game, fowl and more: http://forums.accuratereloadin...=212108409#212108409 Natal: Rhino, Croc, Nyala, Bushbuck and more http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6341092311 Recent hunt in the Eastern Cape, August 2010: Pics added http://forums.accuratereloadin...261039941#9261039941 10 days in the Stormberg Mountains http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7781081322 Back in the Stormberg Mountains with friends: May-June 2017 http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6001078232 "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive.

I know without a doubt what the best African dish is,,now L. David Keith is hard to argue with on his recommnedation, and most have had great suggestions,,however,,, the best game recipe is the "Next" one and I will have to wait 19 more days to have it! Just counting the days and repacking over and over...I can almost smell the meat over the mopane wood as I close my eyes and day dream.. you can make more money, you can not make more time | |||

Theodore Roosevelt spent considerable time in Africa and had the opportunity to eat a wide variety of African game animals. Yet you need look no further than chapter VIII of his "Outdoor Pastimes of an American Hunter" to learn what he considered the finest tasting game animal.
