Crazy cooking idea.

[mattbell]

After tasting some very dark chocolate and beef jerky in quick succession, I'm convinced that you could indeed do a successful fondue with beef and baking chocolate. Take pure unsweetened chocolate, add a little pepper and spice to bring the mixture closer to mole, and then give people bits of beef, pork, or chicken to dip in the fondue pot. If small bite-size pieces of jerky are used instead, they could be coated with a layer of chocolate and then left to cool and harden. Then they could be eaten later as a snack. I don't have the facilities to try this at the moment, but perhaps someone else does and could work with me when I return.

Casa de Fruta has ostrich jerky and elk jerky, as well as others (some more normal) that I didn't look through. It's likely that plenty of places in Berkeley and San Francisco also have these and more.

I'd be interested in trying this with different recipes and different meats.

Cool... I think I'll organize a group for this. :-)
