beef links are gross.

Beef Jerky should look like this:





get it at costco or trader joe's

And it shouldnt taste like tomato.


It should taste like pure love.

Had someone myself for the first time when I went to the US for my brother's wedding. Have to say I'm partial to the stuff, partly the taste, partly because it's something you can really work your jaw on.

I thought the teriyaki stuff I tried was quite nice too. Tried some kangaroo jerky someone from oztralia brought back.....flechhhhh....don't go there.

Have to find a local place that makes it, usually the best shit.

There's a south-african shop which sells it by weight near where I work , slightly more expensive than the pre-packed, but much better flavour.

It's also really hard to find packaged jerky that isn't laced with lashings of MSG or artificial sweeteners.

love the stuff, sadly the cats and dog do too.

Nothing beats some good old fashion sun dried human flesh. Goes real good with some fava beans and a nice chianti. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjGpcEA-FyE[/ame] :poly124:

Try some South African biltong if you can get it. You know those antelope things with big curly horns you see in nature documentaries? You can get them in handy, dried stick form amongst other things.

They sell that in the shop near me too, long strip that look like distended intestines covered in peppercorns. :poly124:

If you are just starting out on jerky, I would suggest eating it with beer.

eh? There's a different way of eating it? Jesus.

Biltong is what jerky wishes it was. Jerky is the meat equivalent of Cadbury's Dairy Milk, biltong is like proper european chocolate actually made with cocoa beans.

i like "damn good beef jerky" i think it is.

dejawolf

i ate beef jerky. weirdest shit i ever tasted. it reminded me of pig skin dipped in sweet and sour sauce. wouldn't surprise me if thats what it was actually made of.
if you wanna know, jelly is made out of pig skin, so just imagine jelly without the extra taste.

ChaosEidolon

+1 on Biltong! If you can find it...

I wouldn't even equate it to beef jerky...the shit you get in the states is inedible, and as a result the whole dried meat thing gets a bad rap here.

Well it is dipped, or tossed in a tumbler (think miniature cement mixer) for 24 hours. I know since making beef jerky was one of my first Jobs (I miss having free jerky)

Justin Meisse

what beef is made out of pork! you are crazy!

How to decide if beef jerky is worth eating: was it mass produced in a factory and shipped to a grocery store? If the answer is "yes", avoid it.

beartraps

try the new jerky slurpie at 711 with real bits of jerky

anybody know where they sell biltong in los angeles?

mrsincredible

Jimmy's chinese style beef jerky from Canada is hands down my favorite. Very thin and tender shavings of beef with a sweet, slightly teriyaki flavor. Sadly, I believe they no longer produce it.

Super

Does anyone sell this stuff over here? Always wanted to try it.

Rens

Finaly the stores open up once more!

You guys are great
Im going to make a list of things i need to try out, and damnit i will find them.
