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?
Is beef jerky supposed to actually be edible?

I also did one time and never tried it again, maybe were missing something -
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...Mechanical Bunny Media

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.Comment

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!Last edited by beerptrol; 07-07-2013, 06:44 AM.“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”

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.

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.

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.

I actually ate a bag of...
Jack Link's
Premium Cuts
A1 Steak Sauce
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.

Jack Links is hit and miss - i've had decent bags and i've had bags exactly like konrad got stuck with where i had to wonder what went wrong and how long it had been since it had been packaged.I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting.

back to the OP and it being "leathery" didnt the word "Jerky" give you a tad of a clue?
agreed jack links sucks Pemmican isnt bad, home made is best
its a high protein, low fat, high salt, no carb pick me up for anything you are doing generally outdoors, its a snack not a meal.Mike South

prosciutto is amazing but great jerky is better - both are expensive.
as far as Mike South saying jerky isn't a meal - if i was gonna be lethally injected and they're taking my order for my last meal, jerky is on my list.I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!Comment

I actually reopened the package, and maybe half of it was edible (with the other half being like munching on the sole of a shoe). 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 salamiMechanical Bunny Media

i never did like jack links. i prefer the oberto beef jerky.
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.Comment

prosciutto is a delicacy...it is SO hard to find the right type...prosciutto has to be massaged with wine every 2 days and smoke dried at exactly the right temperature for an exact amount of time to keep the meat soft and make it almost melt in your mouth...
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...
