Droewors
Droewors, Droe(dry)wors almost always accompany biltong. The two go hand in hand - at any butchery you will always find them next to each other. It is even more popular than biltong, because it is a little cheaper than biltong.
The number of recipes for droewors is legion, because there are such a variety of tastes in South Africa. The recipe that we here at Delightful Foods use is a special family recipe which is kept a secret to guarantee you the best dry wors in the country. All our dry wors is made using only the best quality beef,pork salt and spices. We only use the best quality (derms) in our wors which is then also left to winddry ,just like our biltong.
The period of time the wors is left to dry, varies from 2 to 3 weeks, depending on how dry you want it to be. The longer it hangs, the drier it will become. Some people prefer it very dry, but others can’t wait for their favourite snack and it is edible after some 10 days of hanging.
Droewors is an ideal outdoor snack, especially appreciated by hikers hiking the many hiking trails and walks in South Africa. It is ideal because it is light, and can be carried with ease by hikers as part of their meals, or together with peanuts, raisins and energy bars, form a healthy snack providing enough energy for a tiresome trip.
Because droewors is such a favourite with South Africans, it is produced commercially by large factories to supply in the countrywide need, but we here at Delightful Foods produce our droewors homemade and with loving care. We put in extra care and pay attention to add just the right amount of meat and spices so that every centimetre of wors that we make will be perfect. We never deviate from our recipe because if we do, our wors will not be as perfect as we want it to be.
Biltong
Biltong, Delicious ! mouthwatering ! scrumptious ! This is only a few words that can describe the biltong made here at Delightful Foods. Once people have tried our biltong, they come back for more, and that is because we only use the quality graded meat and we do not compromise. People return to our butcheries in Pretoria because the know that our biltong is the best !
Our speciality ! We have been in the meat industry for more than 24 years and have perfected the art of making boerewors, biltong and dried wors.
Only the best quality fresh meat comes from farms in the Limpopo and Freestate provinces, which is well-known for the quality meat that is produced there. Animals grases freely on the grasslands. They are not fed any artificial feeds, growth hormones or any substance that can influence the meat in any way, just pure South African meat at its best.
The art of making biltong and dried wors is a purely South African tradition, more or less as part of South Africa as rugby, which actually is synonym with biltong, Ask any South African what a rugby match is without delicious South African biltong !
The making of biltong and dried wors originated a few centuries ago and is part of South Africa’s history and culture. Farmers during the 18th century had no electricity, were living in remote areas of the country, and had to find a way to preserve meat as there were no cooling facilities. They preserved the meat by cutting it into smaller pieces, rubbing it with salt and spices such as coriander, clove and pepper, and laying in vinegar or brine to preserve it. Then it was hanged in an open dry space where it winddried for about 2 to 3 weeks, exactly as we here at Delightful foods still make it today, after nearly 300 years. Our biltong dries naturally, not using artificial methods such as drying tunnels.
In the earlier times, the ideal time to make biltong was during the winter months, because during summer there was a risk of the meat rotting, but nowadays with our modern facilities and equipment, biltong can be made right through the year.
Although the art of biltong making was perfected and eaten mainly by the 18th century farmers, biltong and dried wors had become a delicatessen loved by all South Africans.
Beef is mainly used to make biltong, but the meat of game such as springbok, kudu and impala are also used to make delicious biltong.
Biltong is usually made from lean good quality beef. Biltong can be made to suit everyone’s taste. Some people prefer biltong dry with no fat, others on the other hand prefer their biltong with a thin, even a thick layer of fat, and some also prefer the meat to be a little wetter, which makes it a bit softer. However, South African biltong is loved and appreciated by everyone.
Biltong is mainly enjoyed on its own as a snack, and as was previously mentioned , a MUST with any rugby game, but can also be used in a variety of other dishes, etc pizza, omelettes, quiches and as a filling in pita breads and in pancakes. It is a wonderful snack to fill up lunch boxes, providing enough protein which is so essential in the growth of young children. Grated dry biltong makes a e e snacks that do not have to be given up if you want to loose weight.
Ask any South African what his or her favourite snack is, the answer will almost surely be : BILTONG!!!!!!!
Boerewors
Boerewors, Our homemade boerewors is the best you will ever taste. That can be proved by the fact that our clients come back again and again for our products. Why ? Because the meat that we use is only the best quality beef lamb and pork from the grain producing parts of our country, Limpopo, Gauteng and the Freestate, because that is what our animals eat, just the best quality grain , and succulent grass, nothing artificially is added.
The recipe that we use to produce our quality boerewors, is a family recipe that has been used for the last 23 years by the Erasmus family. It is a secret recipe that has proven to be the right one, for our clients keep on coming back for more.
There are also a few variations on the original recipe. We produce a very special cheesewors, using only fresh cheddar cheese, not imitations of cheese or cheese powder. The fresh cheese that we use, gives our wors that authentic “cheesy”flavour when it is braaied over open fire.
We also have a “spek’wors, using bits of bacon and a ……………
Having a braai (barbeque) is a favourite pastime of many thousands of South Africans. It is also the favourite way of entertaining friends and family as South Africa is a sunshine country, experiencing a very long and hot summer. There is no better way than to spend these days having a braai, and boerewors is the one ingredient that is essential to have a enjoyable meal.

Frozen Baby Food
FROZEN BABY FOOD
Natural Healthy Frozen Baby Food – Granny’s Frozen Baby Food Products
Dear Moms and Dads,
It is with great pleasure that we introduce you to the Product that took the Your Baby Show by storm!
We were very pleased to see the positive reaction from both moms and dads at the show, regarding the availability of a FROZEN product that is now available for babies.
Ansie Selier the ‘Granny of Granny’s’ was present at the show and told us the story behind Granny’s. It in fact started 30 years ago when Ansie had her first daughter, her child was very allergic and after feeding her an off the shelf product one evening, she had to rush her daughter to hospital, she was admitted to intensive care for treatment of the reaction. That was when Ansie started to make her own baby food with no preservatives. This was used for all her children. Friends, family and neighbours all asked her to make food for them, as babies loved the food.
In 2004 Ansie’s grandson was born, and while preparing food for him she decided it was time to realize her dream. To make Granny’s frozen baby food’ available to all the babies in South Africa.
Two years of laying the foundations to the launching of the product took lots of research, testing and conforming to the necessary statutory requirements. Granny’s was officially launched in January 2006. The Spar Group, Northern and Southern Division have stores which stock the product and distribution is expanding as we speak. Royal Setshaba Catering will be distributing to Westville and Crompton hospitals in Natal.
We are also proud to say that a number of Clinics and Pediatricians recommend our product to mom’s. We are in fact also distributing to hospitals direct, for them to use for pediatric patients as well as others e.g. ICU soft foods, for the aged who can’t eat normally, for oncology patients for tubing at hospital and at home. We have held product introduction meetings with several dieticians for two hospital groups, who have also expressed extreme interest and pleasure in the fact that such a product in now available for moms.
Granny’s Care for Children, and as a company we sow seed back into the community. Granny’s sponsor ABBA House, a home for babies in need in Pretoria, they in turn pass on to homes in Shoshonguve and others. We also support Ledsedi House in Melody, Hartbeesport Dam, which is a home for AIDS babies.
It is wonderful to see how the babies respond to eating Granny’s, not only do they clap hands when they see us dropping off food, but their development also has improved vastly.
Granny’s would also be most beneficial for AIDS suffers especially those who have already developed problems with eating and mouth soars etc.
Granny’s is wonderful for the aged in frail care centres, there are many who cannot chew or swallow large bits of food anymore.
Notes for Moms
Before they are 3 to 4 months old, babies automatically push out their tongues when anything enters their mouths. This reaction, call the extrusion reflex, is essential for breast-feeding and bottle-feeding, and indicates that infants can swallow only liquids. Even after losing the extrusion reflex, babies may lack the coordination to move food from the front of their mouths to the back for swallowing. They start to develop that ability between 4 to 6 months of age. That is also when they start sitting with support and holding up their heads.
Is your baby ready? If your 4 month old needs more frequent breast-feedings or gets hungry between bottles of formula, it may be time to experiment with the first sold food. Start with a teaspoon. Signs that your baby is ready to go forward with solid food include:
Watching the food on a spoon and opening his or her mouth to receive it.
Closing his or her lips over the spoon
Keeping most of the food in his or her mouth and then swallowing it.
Whether your baby is 4,5 or 6 months old when he or she first eats cereal, one thing you should not do is introduce it by mixing it in a bottle. Even if the cereal barely thickens the milk or formula, swallowing it requires different reflexes from swallowing liquid. A baby who has not had any practice swallowing solids may gag on clumps of cereal from the bottle and risk inhaling (aspirating) some of it. A less frightening but still undesirable effect is overfeeding - cereal adds unneeded calories to formula milk.
Six important “Start Healthy” tips
Breastfeeding: Establish healthy eating habits from the very beginning.
Positive Parenting: Healthy eating starts with a positive parent-child partnership.
Patience: If he rejects a new food ….. try, try and try again
Variety : Build you baby’s taste buds.
5-a-day: Nutritionists recommend 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
Activity: Jump! Run! Dance! An active lifestyle is a healthy one.
GOOD LUCK -
ENJOY THE GRANNY’S EATING ADVENTURE WITH YOUR BABY!
