Jerky was a type of common dry rations, usually made of beef, venison[12] or caribou,[13] often carried by human adventurers due to its lightweight and longevity.[14]
Description[]
Jerky was hard and had very little flavor. When jerky and hard-tack were consumed, a large amount of water needed to be consumed as a part of the meal, to aid digestions of these foods.[14]
Availability[]
- In the Moonsea region, rabbit meat jerky was a commonly encountered type of provisions.[15]
- In Sembia, jerky was peppered, to give it more patentable taste.[8]
- In ancient Myth Drannor, tack and jerky were stored in some of the tombs in the Polyandrium, including Lyssic's Crypt.[2]
History[]
Jerky was created and consumed as far back as the Empire of Netheril, carried in oilskin pouches.[10]
