1851, Max Roderich, St. Helena. Historischer Roman, 2nd volume, Jena, p. 31Here again we were treated to genuine African delicacies, of which I still remember the anise roots, which had a very spicy but almost too intense taste; the biltong, which consists of smoked muscles from the eland's hindquarters and is considered a delicious delicacy, usually eaten raw in very thin slices; the buffalo tongues; and what I myself discovered to be an exquisite and incredibly tender dish, the salted elephant feet.
