    These have always been ridiculously expensive where I live. I used to import jerky from South Africa. Theirs is cheaper (even after shipping) and honestly better. Biltong they call it.

      And you can make biltong much easier than jerky. Literally just a hanger and a room running AC.

      Plus, absolutely 20 times better.

      It’s pretty easy to make biltong on your own too. I’ve done it with strips of meat hanging in a cardboard box with a fan pointed at it

          If you go very literal on the Dutch etymology, you put your tongue (tong) in between some butt cheeks (bil = butt)

            I’ll be honest; I was engaging in innuendo regarding the original comment. However, I do appreciate the sincere answer. Does it work with other brands? Outside of my closet, even?
