Well TS, if you're gonna be like that, then I ain't telling ya!

This method of cooking pork and chicken dates back to the Carib-Arawak Indians who inhabited Jamaica. After capturing an animal and thoroughly cleaning and gutting it, the Indians placed it in a deep pit lined with stones and covered with green wood, which, when burned, would smoke heavily and add to the flavor. But first, the carcass was "jerked" with a sharp object to make holes, which were stuffed with a variety of spices. The holes also allowed heat to escape without loss of moisture. (Source)

Jeff, Willow Grove is probably 45 minutes from you.

Digital City (apparently it's now called AOL City Guide) is one the few good things that AOL has created. Lots of information along with reviews from folks like you and me. It's one of my main bookmarks.
