NK - ?feast steward?

[Addington, Debbie, A]

I have tried two different recipes for that stuff, jerky tasted real good
after that.  I tried to make it better by adding raisins, prunes, apples and
cinnamon.  nothing worked.  I suppose during the winter season, a viking
would anything if they are hungrey enough.  8 )
thanks again, 
Maidenhair
