    Is beef jerky supposed to actually be edible?

    or is this some joke that everyone except me is in on? I bought some jerky called 'Jack Links' and sat down to try beef jerky for the first time in my life. It's like chewing on a leather jacket. Is this stuff supposed to be prepared somehow before being eaten or what?

      The stuff is pretty hit or miss in my opinion. Some is a little more tender but I would imagine the leathery way is the proper way lol.

        I bought some dried chicken stuff by this same company and it was really good. I honestly don't see how this is supposed to be edible, it looks like a dog treat...

              I don't like it very much. But I like to take it while hiking. Don't worry about keeping it cold. And I don't eat too much of it cause I don't like it.

              Now, I do remember a guy giving me some deer jerky he made, It didn't taste bad. It was actually ok.

                    Make your own, it's cheaper and tastes better! The only time I'll buy it is if the local butcher makes some beef or deer jerky!

                      You're not really supposed to chew it up and swallow it right away. You more or less suck on it like a mint while slowly chewing it over time. It's supposed to last for a bit; not just chomp chomp like a cheese burger...

                          i'm a beef jerky junky - you got a shitty brand, you're right, bad jerky is exactly like chewing on an old baseball glove or leather jacket. it should be tender, chewy and have lots of flavor.

                          this is a good brand - jerky is definitely hit and miss.

                          I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                            Jack Links is trash. Most mass-produced jerky sucks. Pemmican is pretty decent as Mutt said. There's a little place in the middle of nowhere that makes some of the best beef jerky I have had.

                              Mcdonalds burgers taste good or very good to people. Not a god comparison.

                                        I like it when it's softer, but I can see where you're coming from. Sometimes it can be like chewing a piece of leather.

                                        On a road trip, there's nothing like some jerky and a Monster Energy drink. They just go together. After I finish the bag, I have second meal by retrieving the jerky scraps caught in the meat pockets in my teeth. Yummy.

                                            never tried beef jerky, but its South African version, biltong, is pretty damn addictive - the ostrich and gamy ones are really tough, but still super tasty

                                                I think that soft beef jerky is crap.

                                                  Ordering some today. I love little, unknown beef jerky places.

                                                  That looks fantastic. Where can I buy some?

                                                    If you like real beef jerky, you'll like it. Just make sure you have some dental floss handy.
                                                    I like pie.

                                                      Looks like simple cold smoked beef, so probably in any store that specializes in meat including smoked meat?

                                                        I make my own biltong, I have a biltong machine I built myself. Love the stuff.

                                                          last night and was pretty fresh, hit or miss if you get the fresh shit depending on how much the store moves and how much backstock they have, I get a bunch of homemade shit as well which trumps any packaged shit but buy that one cause I love A1 sauce.

It's OK but not really something that would go on my regular shopping list - gonna just stick to the european shit like prosciutto and cured salami

                                                                                              but seriously what did you expect? beef jerky isn't meant to be moist and juicy. jerky by definition is dried meat trimmed of fat, and cut into strips to prevent from spoiling.

                                                                                              it's a snack, it's flavored, and you're supposed to chew on it and enjoy it. however like popcorn it will get stuck in your teeth.

                                                                                                you have to use a pin made out of animal bone to test and see if it has dried correctly and getting the consistency of the meat so that it is soft but malleable is super hard....

                                                                                                it is literally desert meat, to be consumed with the right wine...it has very little to do with beef jerky...
