Do you like jerky?

I don’t know that you can elevate beef jerky, but I admire those who try. I got four different flavors of beef jerky/sticks free to review, and I’m just not a big jerky fan. Although, I did try the “Kicker”, and it wasn’t bad; nothing greasy at least. Not too long ago I tried tuna jerky, but it was too tough.

Generally, no, because as you said, it has a tendency to be too tough. It can also be very greasy and salty.

Not to mention it’s very processed. I gave it the all American try, but it just doesn’t seem like good food to me.

@MarieCoyle You can find it a lot less processed now. I’ve been sent an absurd amount of jerky, and I’ve noticed how different it is than what people used to grab at gas stations.

I love, love, love jerky! There is a jerky shop in St. Augustine on the eastern coast of Florida that I visit every time I travel there, because they have an incredible selection of different kinds of jerky. I get a different type of meat every time I visit. I have never been disappointed to date. I also have a friend who hunts, and every time she kills a deer her and her dad make venison jerky. She is always bringing me some to enjoy, because she knows how much I like it.

Have you ever had camel jerky? My BIL was on this beef jerky kick so I got him like a 12 pack of different jerky meats. He said camel was really greasy. He loved the venison and kangaroo, but I think bear was low on his list too.

@AmbiePam I have seen camel jerky before, but I haven't had it yet. The last jerky I had was python jerky, it was pretty good!

Not generally, but I will eat sometimes since it is low carb.. My son is a jerky fan. I have gotten him jerky from Bucees on his bday before. They seem to sell tons of jerky there.

Yeah, the low carb is the most appealing thing about it, to me.

I just can’t get into liking jerky. I’ve tried different ones, even turkey and chicken. Just a big nope! I often don’t like the texture, or it seems tough or even a bit gristly somehow.

Oh yeah, some of it is very gristly. And now I’m having a flashback!

@AmbiePam I’m sorry I sent you in to flashback mode! I hope we don’t have any more jerky in our futures.

tuna jerky being too tough is a bummer... imo nothing greasy is already a win for jerky thats not your thing.

I have seen beef jerky in the shops but I’ve never tried it. To be honest from what I’ve seen through the packet it looks more like a dog chew than something a human would eat !

I've never tried it. I'd have to be starving to even consider it.

I know you have finer taste in food, but I would have guessed you’d have at least tried jerky.

@AmbiePam I don't need fancy jerky lol, plus they are really tasty. Sadly, a bit too high carb for carnivore though lol
