Ok I see bacon getting so much praise here (for good reason), but yet people seem to be forgetting the glory that is beef jerkey.

Anyone else love this food?

ReaperKK · « **Reply #1 on:** August 25, 2011, 08:23:29 PM »

I just made a big batch. It's out to dry right now.

I love beef jerky, way more than bacon.

dethklok09 · « **Reply #2 on:** August 25, 2011, 08:24:13 PM »

Yeah I still have some left from a batch made a few days ago, sadly it's almost gone.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #3 on:** August 25, 2011, 08:24:29 PM »

I wanna learn how to make it. I did make it one time and it turned out good, but I forgot how I made it by now

But yes, paired with some cheddar and mmmmm

dethklok09 · « **Reply #4 on:** August 25, 2011, 08:25:33 PM »

I have no idea (my dad's the one who makes it) but you can probably find out how to online.

Beef jerkey is awesome, but I don't think its as good as bacon. I wouldn't argue with someone that likes it more though, because I would find it perfectly understandable. I may change my mind if I get to taste more beef jerkey, I feel that it hasn't been in my life enough for me to fully appreciate it.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #6 on:** August 25, 2011, 08:26:53 PM »

yeah, for sure. i think that's how i did it last time. i remember it was easy actually haha

That'll get you going for cheap.

I love beef jerky. But it's sorta one of those delicacies I usually just get when I make a stop on a long car trip.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #9 on:** August 25, 2011, 08:36:41 PM »

I much prefer homemade beef jerky to gas stop. Gas stop jerky seems a little moist to me, I like it to be completely dry.

dethklok09 · « **Reply #10 on:** August 25, 2011, 08:49:28 PM »

Same, but still gas stop jerkey ain't bad.

Also, still waiting on lonestar's approval of this thread.

He'll probably approve it once it's spelled with only one "e"

I looooove beef jerky, but my jaw does not.

Beef jerky recieves my blessing.

This.

I actually go to this one guy who has a roadside stand up by my parents house, and he makes a mindblowing venison jerky.

HarlequinForest · « **Reply #17 on:** August 25, 2011, 11:02:25 PM »

Beef jerky is much better than bacon, as far as I'm concerned. It's probably my favorite snack of all.

I've never had particularly good homemade jerky, but as far as store-bought goes I swear by Pemmican. It's the one with the native American dude on it. I also enjoy saying "Oh Boy! Oberto!"

juice · « **Reply #20 on:** August 26, 2011, 01:27:43 AM »

I love me some beef jerky.

Gadough · « **Reply #21 on:** August 26, 2011, 07:49:31 AM »

I eat beef jerky almost every day; no joke. I love that shit. Jack Link's or GTFO.

Actually, I like most brands I've tried. Bridgeford is pretty good. Also, surprisingly, the Wal-Mart store brand is delicious. And you get like 2x the beef jerky for the same price as a pack of Jack Link's.

Slim Jim can go screw himself. Anyone who thinks that stuff is real beef jerky has never had real beef jerky.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #22 on:** August 26, 2011, 07:51:40 AM »

I'm going to try and build up a jerky buffer, so I don't run out until the next time I make some.

As for Slim Jim, it's good, but I have to want a slim jim.

Gadough · « **Reply #23 on:** August 26, 2011, 07:54:32 AM »

Just a head's up, if you ever see a brand that uses a cartoon Native American head as its logo....don't try it. I don't remember the name, I just remember it was terrible.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #24 on:** August 26, 2011, 09:56:52 AM »

First batch for the weekend, didn't come out as spicy as I'd like but I like my jerky spicy:

Tick · « **Reply #25 on:** August 26, 2011, 10:52:24 AM »

Love it! I make my own or buy good brands like Pemican.
Always keep floss in the house when enjoying jerky. Trust me on that one.

Gadough · « **Reply #26 on:** August 26, 2011, 10:55:34 AM »

Damn Reap, that looks good.

Tick is right about the floss. Beef Jerky is right up there with popcorn on the list of foods most likely to get stuck in your teeth.

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #27 on:** August 26, 2011, 10:59:34 AM »

Really? Kind of just looks like brown, dried-out seaweed to me.

Never understood the fascination with this stuff. It's okay.

Mr. Beale · « **Reply #28 on:** August 26, 2011, 11:25:02 AM »

I also say beef jerky is superior to bacon, especially when it's good and spicy.

EDIT: I now I'm craving some jerky

There are two reasons for your post:

1) You're a Euro

2) You're too worried about living to see your 50th birthday
