Which biltong do you think taste better?
 
I tried wildebeest sausage but it gave me sausage PTSD for about a month after

No competition. Wildebeest is plain and simply not nice for anything.

Heh, I guess each to their own. There’s at least two bwb per season for the freezer. I’ve prepared steaks with these many times were people couldn’t tell it was game. And it’s not like you need to jump through hoops to make it that way.

This. Our ancestors did all the hard work, tried out all the animals and found the one that tastes the best. Why do you want to fight a hundred thousand years of lived human experience?

True, but nothing wrong with something wild every now and then....

The nutritional profile is much better and healthy than a mass farmed cow

maybe I have just never tasted it cooked properly. But bilong? Plenty of times by people who know how to make biltong. Just don't like it.
 
If you want game biltong then impala is better as it has 'n unique taste.
Wildebeest just tastes like softer leaner beef
 
The best biltong from the smaller buck species is Springbok, with Impala close second.
The large buck species it is Eland, followed by Gemsbok.
Blouwildebeest is a cross between a half dead scrawny cow and a half dead donkey.
 
What about sable and black wildebeest? Or we don't eat them because they're "endangered"?

You actually made me go check as I didn't know they were considered "endangered".

It seems the common Sable we can hunt here isn't endangered, only those up north that is a different (and larger) sub-species. But the main reason it's not common to hunt for most hunters is because they're not cheap. Most that are available for hunting is in the R20k-25k range. It's on my bucket list though; there's a nice 44" one in the EC that has my name on it...

The statement on the Black Wildebeest I'm surprised by. I've hunted a few and they are generally cheaper (around R3k'ish) and smaller than the Blue Wildebeest (around R4k'ish).

Okay, they're not endangered. I thought they were.

We're going to have to eat Roan, then.
