Of the two, if you had to guess which one was a treat for a dog, and which was a piece of tuna jerky would you say it was A or B?
Cruising the aisles of my local su-pa mar-tu, I came across a new treat in the refrigerated section. Sandwiched in between packs of sliced processed day-glow cheese singles and pre-packaged ddok (rice cakes) sat a lone pack of tuna Jerky.
Ok, well maybe I shouldn’t call this a treat. Actually, it is pretty gross, tuna-y with a hint of sweetness; translucent, with a pinkish hue, and remarkably similar to one of Sir’s chicken dog treats, visually.
Jerky (if you are interested) is familiar to us thanks to the Spanish (who took the word from the Peruvian word charqui-dried meat). The American Indians were well into Jerky, as it is suitable for nomadic folk. So my question is, why tuna? I wonder if in the early 80’s Oh Boy Oberto came over and tried out a bulgogi or galbi jerky and failed? I think that would taste good.
The dog treat was B by the way.

That would be good. I’ve still to get my mouth around a kalbi dog, if the bbq meat itself is anything to go by, it’ll be a winner.

And hence, the name of a place where all things good are found under one roof, a charcuterie…mmm…ham.
