I like jerky, but I rarely eat it. It's good for some quick protein, from time to time.

reading this thread makes me crave for some beef jerky. admitted i've never experienced "homemade" jerky, but maybe I'll try ordering some online.

I'm a vegetariain, so I obviously don't eat jerky.

But Slim Jims are pretty disgusting because they contain "mechanically separated chicken":


Mechanically Separated Poultry
is a paste-like poultry product produced by forcing crushed bone and tissue through a sieve or similar device to separate bone from tissue. Mechanically separated poultry has been used in poultry products since 1969 after the National Academy of Sciences found it safe for use. In 1995 the final rule on mechanically separated poultry said it was safe to use without restrictions. However, it must be labeled as "mechanically separated chicken or turkey" in the ingredient statement. The final rule became effective Nov. 1996.

...

Incidentally, Slim Jim Brand Spicy Smoked "Snack" (notice they don't make any pretense to it being a meat snack) also contains mechanically separated chicken:
Ingredients: Beef, mechanically separated chicken, water, salt, corn syrup, dextrose, flavorings, spice, paprika, hydrolyzed corn gluten, soy and wheat gluten protiens, sodium nitrite, lactic acid starter culture.

It's been at least a decade since I've eaten anything resembling jerky. I do remember slim jim and TMNT beef jerky in grade school though. :lol

I think I'm going to buy some (real) jerky and try it out this week.

This has been bugging me for quite some time -- who the hell eats jerky anymore? I can understand why it was a useful food to bring along back in the days where you headed off into the wilderness alone with a shotgun to go discover California or whatever, but who wants to eat that stuff NOW?

Hell, even the name is stupid: JERKY.

Please, enlighten me.

I think the question should be who DOESN'T eat jerky. We live off of the stuff out here in Iraq.

My GF's dad mails us Saskatchewan beef jerky from time to time. Incredible stuff with the perfect blend of spices and salt.
