Outstanding! You're getting me excited to take mine to Africa!

That is an amazing Gemsbok (sp). That old boy has won countless duels for female honor and warded off predators, and died honorably.

Gemsbok makes the best tasting biltong of all African animals.

After eating gemsbok in Namibia last year(and I've eaten it many times before), I could not believe how good the Namibian cook could make it taste!

Must agree that gemsbok is ever tasty. The oldest bull cooks up tender, unlike old kudu which can be very tough. It's not to everyone's taste, but to expand gemsbok eating, try a pofadder. Not the snake, but rather a large sausage made of the last meter of the gemsbok's large intestine (cleaned out ), stuffed with the beast's liver, heart and kidneys plus a bit of fat and slow cooked over a low mopane coal fire. It's too rich to have more than a slice, but what an appetizer to follow up with gemsbok steak, gem squash, other veggies and a red from Rust-en-Vrede, Kanonkop, or Meerlust.

Tim;

You are giving away our secrets, lad. Now the others will find out about the marvelous Meerlust Rubicon reds, and they will dry up our sources.

Steve

Had a bottle of Meerlust Rubicon three weeks ago, Steve, bought at the airport in Joburg in transit to Windhoek. It irrigated a birthday dinner for French friend's wife met hunting in Namibia. The dinner was bird pie: guinea fowl, sandgrouse and dove we had shot three days previously, cooked to perfection by Mevrouw the game farmer's wife.
