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