INTRODUCTION
Scenario:
We had noticed that the economy has not been doing well, making our beloved traditional foods more expensive, especially biltong. We have been told to make a Biltong box to try help our family and friends to still enjoy our lovely heritage food well within our budgets.
Problem Statement:
Is it possible to make biltong cheaper and taste better for our community?
The price of biltong is costing us a fortune, of which most of us can not afford, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Because it is too expensive. Many people do not get to enjoy our traditional food. It is an issue that needs to be addressed now, as the global economic problem is a reality for most. Another reason biltong is not always accessible to all us. Biltong is sometimes too dry, which does not satisfy many people’s taste buds.
RESEARCH Summary for research proposal:
Our project requires a lot of extensive research; our research covers areas and issues such as bacteria, moulds, fungi as well as drying rate of meats ability and well as history of biltong and safety steps taken to make food safe and the preservatives.
Questions:
1. What is biltong? 2. How is biltong made?
