Idea just for fun
 

I would like to know how many of you out there make their own jerke?
I like to make it and would like to make a little contest.

Will need everyones input but here is the idea
What do you think about haveing a jerke cookoff? Just for those members of this board.
Each of us can make our own jurkey and send out one sample to each of the others who sign up. Each would be given a ID number and addresses to send these to. We would vote on taste and other things. These would be sent into a main judge who would compile the information and he/she would then announce the winner.
A plack or ??? would be given to the winner.
What are your thoughts/ideas/interest?

Could be fun.

sounds tastey,just let me know when and who will be involved.I'm all for it.

RE: Idea just for fun
 

Well, 10 other hits and no other replies. I really thought it would be fun. Those interested would come up with rules and we could use numbers and not names so it was not a popular vote as no one would know where they came from. Lots of question to be answered but again could be a hoot and liven up this place.
Come on people at least add your $.02 worth when you view this post.
Thanks Tree climber.

:DThanks for the recipe but the thought here was on a jerke cook off:eek::D.
What do you think about this?
Thanks again.

One more time.
Just some thoughts on how to do this.
Need at least 10 people
One person neutral to collect and send data
Only homemade jerkey no store bought or made by somone else. Just a fun contest
Each person given a number
Each person makes and sends samples to other contestents who will judge jerkey on taste, exct...... send info to judge who does the above and in the event of a tie will be the tie breaker vote.
Winner gets nice plack or somthing like that.
Open to suggestions but need people who want to do this
Just a thought

Now what are yours Yes or no and maybe why.
Thanks again,
Rick

something about a "jerky-off" that doesn't sound right...:D

RE: Idea just for fun
 

I'm in. don't get to worried it may take a while. I only get down to the cooking board every few weeks.

Well phil it doesnt seem like we have enough to have a good contest. I thought it would be fun.
I feel that we would need at least 10 to enter and one to keep the records. I have a idea on a small plack for the winner. We could do this each year and hopefully it would grow to about 20 people
I can see some possible problems but I think we could work them out.

If anyone out there is interested contact me.
;)hunter rich take your mind out of the gutter, slap it a few times, wash it off, do a virus scan and reinstall :D
