Simple question.
I love the stuff, personally.
I can take it or leave it. Don’t dislike it.
I’ll eat it on occasion but it must be freshly made like the kind I sometimes get at the butcher shop that’s a block from my office.
I like it, but the servings tend to be rather small and leave me wanting more.
For a similar treat, I usually prefer northwest-style smoked salmon. My dad made it a few times when I was young. It wasn’t as dry as beef jerky, but it did have a chewy, salty, savory goodness. I can find similar in stores, but not as chewy and well done as he used to make it.
I love beef jerky. No way that I would eat it though.
I obviously love if considering I’m willing to put my teeth through such torture.
I’ve had good jerky and bad jerky. So I’ll vote for “sometimes”.
Grocery store jerky tends to be soaked in sugar, and I don’t much like that. I’ll get it very occasionally, but it’s never as satisfying as I hope.
Years ago I was in Arizona, and I got some jerky at a convenience store that was unsugared and made by some local rancher (it may have been Navajo, I can’t quite remember). Anyway, it was fucking delicious: savory and peppery and just how jerky should be.
Yes. Have even made my own in the past.
No, it’s like sickly-sweet biltong, to my taste. And I love biltong.
Nope. Not so much because of the taste, but for how difficult it is to eat. As a recovered tooth-grinder, I don’t eat anything that requires long chewing. No chewing gum, no jerky. Just thinking about it makes my jaw hurt.
I love it, but my teeth don’t.
I decided to go with love. I can’t remember finding any I didn’t like.
I keep bags of it in my desk and snack on it most every day. My favorite is teriyaki tender. Mmmmm, beef jerky.
It really depends on how dry it is. A lot of the premium small batch stuff that you find around the American hinterland seems to always be so dry that I end up with beef strings stuck in between my teeth for what feels like days. The more commercial stuff doesn’t seem to have that problem.
I like it just fine. I never buy it though.
Last year a buddy at work gave me some of his home made moose jerky. Boy was it good.
If I could find some that wasn’t so full of sugar, I would love it. I have made my own and it was alright. I think the meat was old when I bought it so the jerky didn’t turn out that good tasting.
This is the biggest reason for my dislike… don’t like chewing so robustly and then it’s stuck `twixt my teeth.
Also, it’s really just *meh *in the first place. I’d have chosen something more middle-of-the-road, but i was almost just as happy voting “no”
High protein, low fat and delicious. I love it!
TMI warning -
Something about beef jerky does not work with my plumbing. If I so much as accidentally ingest 1 atom of beef jerky, my stomach and intestines produce enough gas to fill a zeppelin.
