In celebration of Father’s day
So your husband loves hunting and you don’t like game meat? Let’s talk about it!
Here are a few frequently asked questions about game and some answers that will put the misconceptions to rest.
Q: So what is the big deal, why should I start eating game?
A: It is:
• Organic and free range
• Hormone free
• Cheaper than other meat
Q: But I just don’t like the taste of game, it is so ‘wild’!
A: If a carcass is treated correctly from the start, it will not have that ‘wild’
taste:
Here’s how:
– Cut the throat immediately. Hang or lift the tail 500mm off the ground.
– Eviscerate within 20 minutes. Hang carcass, skin on, in a cold room within an hour.
– Deliver carcass, skin on, to Rhino Hill Game Processors.
Q: Why should the skin be left on?
A: The skin serves as an insulator while driving the animal back home. It is also more hygienic.
(Take note: normal butchers are not permitted to receive carcasses with
skin on).
Q: What other products can we make apart from biltong and dry wors?
A:
– Dry products: Spicy or chutney bites / cabanossi.
– ‘On-the-go’ products: Sosaties, Hamburger patties, stirfry, goulash, potjie/stew, mince, meat balls.
– Game wors: Cheese, plain or smoked.
– Babalaaswors.
– Cocktail Sausages.
– Sosatie, Pepper, Peach & Chutney, Feta & Jalapeno wors.
– Bush pig / Warthog: Salami, cabanossi, Russians and cold meats.
