My Vietnamese neighbour says he would rather eat your cat
Strangely it's actually illegal in Vietnam, because they want people to own cats to help control the rat problem. Though last I checked it's still legal in Switzerland and Denmark because of historic rural cultures considering the cat as a good food source.
I'm sure you guys can guess my opinion. If I'm hungry and it's got meat on it..... I would probably eat it.

I have been collecting cigar bands for a couple of years with the intention of creating something to hang on my (future) cigar den wall. This weekend I have finally done it! Fairly happy with it. I have made a CC and a NC picture. Even the forum band features!

No I am gutted that I have never saved a cigar band...
Okie doke! I said I'd post up a few more random 'things' I've made after I posted my Bushcraft knife a couple of weeks back. Next up is my homemade Biltong curing box.
For those who don't know, Biltong is a South African staple. It's seasoned and marinated dried beef, dried over a few days in large pieces and then cut into small slithers before you eat it.
The box, I knocked up from some old scraps of 1/4" mdf I had in the garage. I had a lot of these pieces already cut into rectangles as they used to be the shelves in an old pidgeon hole unit. I saved them from the skip as I always knew they'd come in handy for something one day!
I installed a 60 watt lightbulb in the bottom and a 12v PC fan mounted in the top, extracting the air which is drawn into the unit from holes in the sides of the lower section. The box slowly dries the meat over a few days and it works a treat (if I do say so myself)!
I made this a while back and have done a fair few batches of Biltong now. Took a bit of experimenting in the begining with flavours and timings but once I nailed the process it usually turns out pretty nice now!
Anyways I picked up a silverside joint tonight and have just put another batch in!
