Howdysnax

 There's a specific kind of frustration that hits anyone who's tasted real South African biltong, droëwors, or boerewors and then tried to find it again back home. The grocery store's "international" aisle has nothing close. The gas station jerky tastes like a completely different food. Even specialty import shops, when you can find one, often carry a watered-down version made for a market that's never actually experienced the real thing. Howdysnax exists because two South African guys ran into that exact problem themselves. Rather than settling for a compromise, they started making the snacks they actually grew up with, biltong, droëwors, boerewors, and rusks, using traditional methods instead of shortcuts designed to appeal to an American palate that's never known any different. Here's a closer look at what makes each of these snacks worth understanding, and why so many people end up searching for them online rather than finding them on a store she...

  Biltong is among those snacks that are a hit when done correctly, and the majority of people can immediately tell. Howdysnax dry their food in the traditional manner, so you can enjoy the rich flavor with no fakes added. It is great for snacks at work or sharing with friends, or simply keeping a bag at all times in the kitchen.

  Good Boerewors for you is about the balance of spice and meat, not shortcuts. Howdysnax keeps it simple and gets it right every time, so you're aware of exactly what you're receiving. Place a bag inside the freezer. Take it out when guests arrive and then get the fire burning. It's easy to cook, easier to enjoy, and then gone fast once it hits the plate.

  Rusks are one of the snacks that will never ever go out of style, regardless of how old you are. Howdysnax has a decent inventory on hand, meaning you can pick up a bag when you're craving. Take a couple of boxes on your next road trip, store an extra in the pantry, or have one in your morning cup of coffee. Simple, comfortable, and always a good option.
