    High goddamn five, that sounds fantastic.

    I’ve experimented with fish sauce before, just be real careful because even mixed into a marinade, it’s so strong and distinctive then you can easily pick it out and after a couple tablespoons it’ll completely overwhelm every other flavor.

    I’ll also say get the higher quality fish sauce, it really makes a difference.

    The cheaper fish sauces do not play well with other flavors.

    I don’t like the liquid smoke myself, that usually turns my batches into Walmart jerky territory.

    but I only have ever used q couple kinds and hated them, so I’m sure out of the billion types of liquid smoke there are a couple that are inoffensive.

    and there’s always personal taste.

    what is liquid smoke? is it actual bits of dust?

    yep, it’s little bits of smoke mixed and condensed into a liquid.

    have fun, I hope you have more free time, I agree it’s a lot of fun to make the jerky to specification.

    jerky is one of them make your own foods at this point. none of the US jerky tastes like meat anymore for less than 50 bucks a pound.

    so for the mad jerky heads:

    1. 40$ countertop deli slicer.

    2. buy the largest cheapest bulk beef, the cut doesn’t matter.

    3. Slice up that beef

    4. soy sauce+brown sugar marinade for 1 hr+

    5. dry the meat on a tray over a box fan (3 hrs+ depending on how thin you slice the meat and how dry you like jerky).

    I have made a lot of this, tens of pounds.

    you’re going to cut out most of the cost and you get a much higher quality jerky that you get to flavor.

    for a long time I had one of those big glass old timey candy jars, but I had pounds of beef jerky inside instead of candy.









  • whoa, no, this is not at all my experience. practically the opposite.

    very often queer people make self-deprecating jokes about their communities that are on their face insulting.

    this sounds like a good idea to me because I don’t think anybody would get it.

    it would be like that TV show or whatever who tells the truth, to tell the truth, that nobody ever wins because nobody ever knows when somebody else is lying.
