Charc’ Tank

Join Gil and Eben at the Charc’ Tank where we talk meat!

Don’t expect an academic discussion. Informally we talk about that which we love: meat! Also, don’t expect us to stick strictly to a point by point script or even to any particular subject even though we broadly thread every discussion around a central theme.

What we strive for is interesting and highly relevant content!

The latest podcasts are featured below.

Een van my FB vriende gebruik die woord "Skuimkornuite" om ons president en sy makkers te beskryf. Wat 'n mooi woord!

There has been lots of debate internally about the role JH Hofmeyer, JBM Hertzog and JC Smuts had in building current South Africa. I am always fascinated when I find their fingerprints in unexpected places. In giving this quote I do not comment on the positive or negative implications for the future of South Africa (present from our perspective). That everything that is today had "reasons" in the past t is what I want to highlight. Even load shedding, level 6 and bankrupt municipalities today will influence and shape South Africa 100 years from now.

Just finished for the day. Been at it since 9:00 this morning. Now, Johnny is Walking. What a week! Tomorrow I travel. What a country! And Bashir berought fresh fish!

Late-night street food in Lagos! 🥰🥰

Many years ago I went to India with Francois Auret. Tonight i sat talking to a friend from Kochi in India. He worked on the boilers of Amalgam who hosted Francois and me. His houses are not far from where these photos were taken! Myself and Sanesh work together on the meat factory project. The world is big and small and crazy!!

Love it when a plan comes together! 🤣🤣🥰🥰

Me with two legendels!!

My fat replacer came out beautifully - more stable than ever!! Even at high temperatures it was soft but did not melt away! Ok, the pan is scratched but its the only one my wife will let me use for my experiments!! 🙈🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍😇😇😇

Running with Brussouw!

This morning I ran from Sunset beach to Woodbridge island on the road. This afternoon I did the same run but on the beach. Spectacular!! Inspired by my Boets insane cycle this morning! Thanks @[1409796838:Elmar]!!

Photos from my run from Sunset Beach to Woodbridge Island this morning.
