Beef Jerky anyone??

Beef Jerky... this is something the cowboys of the west take their pride in as one of the "greatest food" then and now! It is strips of dried BBQ beef marinated with various flavours i.e. from black pepper to teriyaki sauces (as pictured above)! Got this packet from Houston, Texas when I was making a business trip there in December 2005. My opinion of beef jerky? Well, I still prefer our Bak Gua or Bak Poh (dried BBQ pork meat - also marinated with different sauces and sometimes even coated with honey... yummy!) and Chinese New Year is round the corner when we will have our fill of Bak Poh and other yummy delights! Yeah for CNY!! Fyi, CNY will be celebrated on 29/1/06 (Sun).
