Hehehe
Now she'll have to buy some mere - for herself and Marigold.

Well of course I am, because you said "slim jim", and (aside from a tool for breaking into a car), that's what a slim jim is! I'd never seen the commercials for Slim Jim Jerkey (only those damned bigfoot ones for the sticks), but I don't watch much TV, and I'd not seen the jerkey either - I think it's just not in this market yet.
Besides, "Slim Jim" has been synonynous with beef sticks since the depression! Why would I even guess you weren't the one who was confused?

I do wish people would stop using vegan as a synonym for vegetarian. I know it's a shorter word, but that's like calling every vehicle on the road a car, because it's a shorter word than truck, lorry, bicycle, motorbike etc. All vegans are vegetarian, but not all vegetarians are vegans, OK?
I don't think I've ever seen the equivalent of jerky, but there are vegie versions of all sorts of Western-conventional foods: hot-dogs and other sausages, burgers, even bacon. They're acceptable, and convenient for social barbecues (practically a religious rite in Australia), but not my food of choice.
I forgot to say, in my earlier post on the latest strip, that Hanners and Marigold go so well together, socially and comedically.

I've been a vegan for two years; I'm aware of the differences between the two words. If I was only a vegetarian rather than a vegan, I would've asked about a vegetarian alternative instead. :-)
There's a tofu hot dog I rather like, and there are many "packet mix" burgers that are suitable, so I was just curious about the possibility of a mock "beef" jerky.

2. Sorry to run over your line of thought with a vegan lorry, Akima... :wink:
