State dinners often consist of, but are not limited to, black tie or white tie dress, military honor guards, a four or five course meal, musical entertainment, dancing, and speeches made on behalf of the head of state hosting the state dinner as well as the foreign head of state.
Jerky is lean meat that has been trimmed of fat, cut into strips, and then dried to prevent spoilage. Normally, this drying includes the addition of salt, to prevent bacteria from developing on the meat before sufficient moisture has been removed.
Good beef jerky, not the mechanically separated, multi-meat kind, is a good source of protein and relatively low in fat. There is a lot of sodium, however. But be sure to check the labels and ingredients to make sure you don't get one with more fat than protien. Eric J Â· 10 years ago.
