charqui,,i looked it up in dictionary ,,i don't know how do you call it in U.S
it's meet ,blended into small piecese like thread . sweet and mostly mixed up with bread
ai, how is the charqui cooked?
is it barbequed? roasted? cooked in a sauce?
phoenix, is beef jerky sweet, as it's described by ai?
got pictures
these are two of them ...not like the one Phonenix got .
I don't know how to post the pictures on this ??
tell me please phonenix ?
many thanks
thanks a lot phonenex ,, but this food is not like you imagined ,I meant the taste .... you should try it some time....
have you got a MSN messenger for chating ? need to talk to you more about this ..
ai, are the photos that Francis posted like the charqui that you're talking about?
I can get that locally, and it's quite good. I'll have to check the local bun shops to find out what they're calling it here.
good
yes, ehBeth ,,, those pictures are the thing I was talking about .
will be appreciated if you find out what it's called there locally.
anyway ,i think I'm gonna produce that for selling .
So, YES, beef jerky can have a sweetness to it, the good stuff (if there is such a thing) combines sweetness and a little tang of sour combined with the chewiness of something your dog would jaw on for several hours. We used to take it and GORP (Good Old Raisins and Peanuts) on long bike trips to munch on at rest stops. The best part about jerky is that it can sit in the bottom of a tote bag for weeks and not go bad or taste too much like the bottom of a tote bag.
Jerky is nothing like what Francis posted nor what ai envisions making for sale.

Charqui --> jerky is interesting, didn't know that!
It sounds roughly analogous to pulled pork:
Dried pork floss
Dried pork floss,,like ehBeth said ,,exactly is for sale ,you should try that sometime Joe Nation..taste really good.
They use the dried pork floss on the outside of taro balls filled with pork here. It's a very tasty snack.
hr
not only that , it could be mixed up with thousands of little snack .
you seem to know many about this ,eh ,,ehBeth ? you got that at your place ?
ai, there are a lot of Chinese restos, bakeries, food suppliers here in Toronto.
Those taro balls just happen to one of my dim sum favourites.
do ?
are there some bakery sotres ? I'm sure the one you were talking about was definitely different from we got here ...
what do u do enBeth ? may I ask ?
Hi ai.
There are quite a number of good Chinese restaurants and bakeries here in Toronto. There are cooks and chefs from a number of regions of China here.
This is an interesting internet article on the six major Chinese neighbourhoods in the Greater Toronto area. There are over 500,000 of Chinese descent/origin living in this city.
