Good, good.  Thanks for refreshing my memory.

Jerky is one of the few succesful uses I've put 
my food dryer to.  (Dried fruit wasn't worth the 
bother.)

Does anyone on the list know about Halvah?  
I'd recommend it highly but it is rather exotic -- it 
would have to come from a food drop, since I 
never once saw it sold down south.  It's hard 
enough to find in the northeast.

In short -- it's a dessert confection made from 
ground sesame seeds.  Comes in one or two 
flavors (vanilla, or marble.) Likely to be seen in 
kosher delicatessens.  Doesn't need refrigeration.
Very sweet, somewhat oily, and very delicious.

Not in the same league as jerky or cheese, but 
it turns out to be marvelous hiking food.  Got all 
the magical ingredients: calories, fat, and protein.
