Zombie Jerky, also called Cured Rotten Flesh, was a food and crafting item during Dragonhollow's Fourth and Fifth Eras.
As wealthy landowners began surrounding Summergate with ever larger claims that forced newcomers to venture further and further into the wilderness of the Summerlands to find food and acquire leather for armor, Eris displayed unusual mercy in providing her subjects with an alternative.
When eaten, Zombie Jerky restored the same amount of hunger as regular flesh but without the high potential for inflicting food poisoning, making it a reliable food source for travel. Zombie Jerky could also be smelted in order to produce leather.
Zombie Jerky required five pieces of zombie flesh and four pieces of string to craft.
The recipe was not well known and a number of veterans including Sprankles and Tox remained unaware of it for months after its introduction.
Despite his vast wealth, Retro survived almost exclusively by consuming Zombie Jerky during the Fourth Era.
Sprankles provided residents of the Badlands with much-needed free Zombie Jerky at his 36 Desert villa. In the Fifth Era, Rider's Refuge offered members of the Dragon Riders use of a Zombie Flesh dispenser that was restocked daily.
In the Seventh Era, Zombie Jerky became craftable again, though the recipe instead required sugar rather than string.
