Benn McIntyre 48 Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Hey Folks! I'm looking to make myself some pigeon Biltong. Has anyone done this before? How did it go? How many pigeon breasts do you think would be needed to make a weeks suply? Just trying to get a rough guage, don't want to start and end up with half a mouthful once it's cured! TIA, Benn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 21,482 Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Ben no Idea really, but do let us know how you get on sounds like a great idea. Try five birds see hoe you get on. Are you going to marinate them or coat them in any thing? Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Benn McIntyre 48 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Quick update, finally finished my Biltong box. Going to go to the butcher's tomorrow and get some silverside beef to test out the seasoning and the box etc before the pigeon goes in! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benn McIntyre 48 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Just hung my first piece of silverside beef. It's been marinaded and seasoned with sea salt, black pepper, corriander and paprika. Oh and a little vinegar. Now hung and got to wait 3-4 days and hope it has gone well! No idea what I'm looking for so playing it by eye... And nose i guess! Edited August 7, 2018 by Benn McIntyre 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benn McIntyre 48 Posted August 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Biltong Update, after 4 days biltong came out of box. And went straight in my belly! It was delicious! It was a little dry for my liking so either less time in the box or a lower wattage. Flavour wise, tasted great but next time im using double the seasoning as although it was there it was only just there and I want it to pack more of a punch! Luckily I have a huge chunk of silverside to get cracking with! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
