My first jerky

After being chided by both Sandra and Jonnie about never having tried beef jerky I went to Klenow's Market today and bought some home smoked jerky. They had about 15 different varieties including many types of beef, and they also had turkey, elk, and a few other kinds of strange beastie jerky. I couldn't believe how expensive it is. All varieties are $16.99 but the butcher told me that this time of year they have a different variety on sale for half price every week. This week's special was teriyaki flavored beef jerky. I was a little leary but the butcher gave me a sample and it was pretty good, so I bought a quarter of a pound. It's hard to tell from just a little sample but the teriyaki does seem kind of hot or spicy, or both. The butcher seemed very proud of his jerky. He told me that their best seller was regular beef jerky, followed by turkey jerky, and I think he said the number three seller was mild beef jerky, and then after that I quit paying attention to what he was saying.
Bon Appetit!!!
