Beef jerky

[Thumpalumpacus]

I made some really tasty beef jerky tonight.  I hope the vegans here don't kill me before I get to finish it.

As long as you don't get one those hill billy jugs, and start blowing on that saxamaphone all night.

hahah, the Aussie thinks jerky is redneck.  Kinda like me thinking he's a cockney.

Well it does seem uncouth, it can't compare with culinary perfection that is the meat pie and tomato sauce.

Oh lordy, when done right, jerky is magic food.  Meat pies are good, but you can't put one in your pocket and go hiking.

Well, you can, but you'll have a helluva time eating it when you get hungry.

Isn't there something, you know, more productive to talk about? I mean really.

For instance, this thread gave me the idea and now I'm making me some beef jerky too

What are you an idiot? This thread's just stupid.

Feel free to quit posting in it, then.  Some of us like cooking, some of us like an occasional bit of idle chatter, and some of us don't carry grudges over from other forums.

Peace!

My idiocy or lack thereof is highly irrelevant to this discussion. The stupidity and/or purposelessness of this thread are highly subjective to the reader.

Now, just for the heck of it, by which standards of productivity is this thread unproductive? By whos standards of intelligence am I an idiot? And by whos standards of smarts is this thread stupid?

You might as well provide proof at once since otherwise, that will be my next series of questions. Proof of unproductiveness would be, for instance, not fulfilling key points of the definition of "productive". Proof of idiocy would require comparison of IQ test scores and proof of stupidity would require a somewhat more philosophical approach.

Knock yourself out. I'll wait   )

Is homemade beef jerky better than the stuff you can get at a store?  I sometimes go out and get some, then after eating the first piece remember why I don't keep my pantry stocked with it.

Depends what raw materials you have at hand.
