Pairing Biltong correctly — a note on Amarula cream liqueur

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Biltong. I ordered it with Amarula cream liqueur and the sweet-tangy from chutney elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. boerewors spice mix in particular became more prominent in a good way.

the braai is a cross-cultural South African institution that transcends racial and social divides. The a Cape Malay restaurant in Cape Town is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Biltong with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
