RIP Ben. You were a South African legend.

For those of you who don't know, this cool guy is Ben Kruger, he was a South African actor and author who sadly passed away on May 26, 2021 as a result of COVID-19 complications. In honor of Oom Ben (uncle Ben), go and make your own biltong!!!

Weird getting this recommended to me now.
RIP Ben❤

I smiled the whole way through that vid!! Now  I’m off to steal my kids plastic tub 😂😂

5 years later, this is recommended. This guy has such a cool style, he makes Biltong look like caviar. Great video!

I watched this video and my phone grew a beard...

Love the positivity. Youtube can be a beautiful place sometimes

Biltong in the UK is both hard to come by and expensive. My brother-in-law is from Capetown and he challenged me to make a biltong maker. I copied both your recipe and the biltonginator  design and now have access to the best biltong. Thanks for making the video. There are some very happy South Africans in our community now.

He says while using a blunt knife 😂

R.I.P.  Ben, you will be missed, taken from us way too early thanks to Covid. God bless you.

Made my own biltong box today out of an old foot locker from when I was in the Army.  Can't wait to hang the meat

I'm an American that used to live in Pretoria, and I would eat around 200 Rand of biltong a week. I loved the stuff.

It's been 4 years, and I haven't tasted its glory since. I'm making my own box today. Thank you.

Why am I finding this channel now😭, R. I. P.     Big Ben ❤️🇧🇼

Hello there! I just want to say thank you very much. Today, as a 19 year old from the UK, whose favourite snack happens to be biltong, I have just managed to hang up my first batch of this wonderful meat right next to my bed and I am very excited to see the results! Biltong is sold as a “premium meat snack” here in the UK and you do have to pay a pretty penny for a fairly small amount. After your friendly encouragement and easy-to-follow instructions, I couldn’t resist giving it a go myself. I went to the butchers for the first time today and I was nervous for some reason. I didn’t even know what to ask for really, so I explained my plan to the man and after sorting some topside for myself, he wished me farewell and asked me to let him know how it goes when it’s all done! Little things like this mean a lot to me, as I don’t tend to go out much myself and I think a lot of people my age don’t tend to think about places like your local butcher shop when your parents go to the supermarket to buy everything for you. I know I didn’t up until I saw this video anyway. So thanks for opening my eyes. Much appreciated!

That look when you tasted the meat says it all, thank you so much sir.

Could literally use a pc case for the drying process

Rip 🙏 very sad loss for SA and his family and friends 😢

I am from Holland. As a very young boy, around 12 or 13 years old, I bought Biltong at the local toko. I had never heard of it and loved it, even though it wasn't freshly made with fresh spices. Still, I loved the structure and I liked eating it instead of lunch when I was in the woods for a day or so. Nobody else here ever mentions it or knows what it is. I haven't had any since 1985 or so. I couldn't find it anymore and forgot about it.
The toko's here might sell it now, but I think they all reverted to beef jerkey. It never occurred to me to make my own until now. I have a couple of computer fans lying around that are going to be put to work again!

Thanks to Ben. After seeing your video, I made a Biltonginator 4000 today with my kids. Eks baie trots! Tomorrow I'm getting meat and making my 1st Biltong. Thanks to Ben for the video and guidance. Ben Legend. Johan

Nothing....but nothing tastes like good biltong. You got that right bru.
