Jerky

I went to WalMart yesterday and "stumbled" over Jack Link´s Beef Steak Nuggets. Well, they were mine (for a short time...)

I came to know Jerky not until the year 1999. After I could be convinced that it is not raw meat, I gave it a try - and got hooked to it! It´s sooooo yummy!

Here it is hardly known but gets more popular now. I got to know it in Australia and found the very best is the Hot Jerky from The Territory Jerky Factory in Alice Springs. We even visited the factory and bought 4 large bags!

We even managed to take them home!! We treated them very carefully, took only little bits on "special occasions".
One day a little flood came into Ingos apartment. The water was not very high, but it was tragic.
Whilst cleaning, he found a larger bag. What was in it? Yes. Two of the Jerky-bags! Dammit, I had forgotten that I had put them there! They were spoilt.

Ingo was more clever; he had stored one bag on a shelf.
But... we were so carefully, took only smallest bits to have them for the longest time. The flavour was completedly out.

We even made our own, but it´s too much work (and, well, not really yummy...)
Luckily there is Jerky available now. Not half as yummy as I remember the Territory one, but very good nonetheless.

In December we want to go to Perth, Western Australia. Maybe I can order the Territory Jerky to the Hotel (they have no online shop). I think I have to try from here via E-Mail, but maybe it´ll work! Would be sooooooo good!

Hmm, great. Now I have appetite!
