History
Southern African hunters valued eland as large antelope meat; mince of eland took a named place in that kitchen trade.
Game ranches portioned eland like beef for local markets. Cooks treated mince of eland as a cut with its own timing and sides.
As eland cookery specialised, mince was portioned and sold ready for the pan. Safari-lodge and nose-to-tail menus featured eland fillet and shank.
