Cape Town's famous Table Mountain is in the background.

A South African delicacy is biltong, which is a distant cousin of American jerky. It's very thick strips of meat (not always beef) that is seasoned and dried. Unlike jerky, the meat isn't dried all the way through. It's served sliced, and is often quite soft and moist in the middle. And unbelievably tasty. One of Robert's friends started his own biltong business after retiring, and Blair was kind enough to show us his operation. The strips of meat (about an inch thick) are coated with seasoning and allowed to sit overnight to absorb the flavors. The meat is then hung in a drier cabinet as dried air is forced through to dry the strips.
