Vince, I make my own jerky (cos the stuff you can get in Sainsburys is too bloody expensive) and I know it looks leathery but it's not really. It's yummy. I put lots of Henderson's relish in the marinade, that's the ticket ;-)

Peng, I felt the urge to cover my cat's eyes and ears when I read your post. Then I realised that a) she can't read; b) I'm anthropomorphising a little too much these days and c) I shouldn't mix wine with these new pain meds...
