/Sounds like "CHAHR" (as in "chat") + "kee" (as in "keep")/
Sun-dried salted meat, an ancient preservation method from the Andes that predates refrigeration. It's chewy, intensely flavorful, and the origin of the English word 'jerky.'
“Charqui with boiled potatoes is traditional Andean food.”
“My grandma still makes charqui the old-fashioned way.”
