JTT stands for “Jerky Taste Talk” by the way 
I wanted my own forum but…
(I’m just foolin’ around here Bill - don’t get mad 
)
Personally, my favorites are the Pemmican Brand Sweet and Hot flavor, and those new those new “Beef Nuggets” you can get at 7-Elven…can’t remember the brand name though. The peppered flavor is great. Mmm, them’s good eats right after a long bike ride…
Who else wants to talk about Jerky Flavors? C’mon I need feedback, I need to KNOW!!!

Well, being a vegetarian, my tastes are probably somewhat different that those of most (What? You didn’t know there was vegetarian jerky?). I think my favorite is Cajun Jerky’s “Hot Pastrami” style. My least favorite is anything made by the Tofurky people…yuck!

I love Shelton’s Turkey Jerky, myself.

Well, yeah. Can you see the branding think tank that came up with that one? “Hey, it’s tofu. It’s jerky. It’s Tofurky.” Groan.
I’m a teriyaki jerky person, myself.

I like the terrryaki jerky that I can get at the local market. It comes in sheets.
Oh, Loren, you may know CDs and whistles, but I’m afraid you and these other folks are on the wrong track with this one. There is no such thing as great jerky at a gas station/convenience store or bought in bulk. It can only be great if it’s off this year’s western U.S. cattle and hung to dry in the cold back bedroom (peppered heavily). (Actually, I don’t do this myself but I get it from friends who do.) It’s like the difference between fresh vegetables right out of the garden and canned off the grocery store shelf.

I used to really like this stuff called “Jerkey Stuff”. It was super-finely shredded jerky put in a round ‘can’ that looked like a Skoal can. I’m sure lots of kids bought it for the same reason they bought candy cigarettes…but the reason I liked it was cause it was so finely shredded that you were able to extract a lot of flavor from small amounts.

Susan,
I don’t claim to be any sort of Jerky expert that’s for sure!
Now, no fair teasing us with stories of Jerky Nirvana - most of us don’t have access to the fresh stuff

Actually, the name comes from “Tofu Turkey” (the company’s actual name is “Turtle Island,” and until recently their primary product was a vegetarian “turkey” roast). The problem with their jerky is it’s so hard, it’s nearly impossible for me to chew. The flavor’s OK, but it doesn’t taste much like real jerky. The other brands on the market, including the “Cajun” brand I mentioned, have more the taste and texture of real jerky (inasmuch as I can tell, not having eaten meat of any sort for nearly 16 years).

Whoops! Just noticed that I quoted the wrong post! Sorry 'bout that!

Wild Bill’s! It’s so darn good that I stuff a little piece of it into the cavity of my beloved McHaffie E# whistle’s mouthpiece so that whenever I play my beloved whistle I can taste and smell the jerkey as if it were actually in my mouth and nose.

Chris,
$15. for 8oz.?!?!?! None for me thanks! Sheesh, I can buy two one pound Porterhouse steaks for that price.
Geeze, this is making me hungry…

How DARE you plagiarize my precious “*TT” (TM, Reg. USDA, Pat. Pending) thread!!!?
Oh! Somebody said Teriyaki Jerky? Where? I want some now!!
Weirdly enough, my daughter, who is a Vegetarian Of The First Water, makes some of the best beef jerky I’ve ever eaten! Apparently, she has no compunction about taking sharp instruments to animal flesh - she just won’t eat it! YUM!
What a cool idea! Sticking a bit in the mouthpiece of your whistle! Well, it’d last longer than Sandy’s chocolate whistles!
Cooooool!!!

Unbeliever. We faithful of the Church of Jerkiology do not deal kindly with those who criticize our organization. In 10 seconds there will be a knock on your door. We suggest that you have changed your mind by the time you answer it.
The trick to finding good jerkey is to make sure it has been properly aged.
Jerkey is like a fine wine, or whiskey… it mellows with time.
Here’s what to do to ensure your jerkey has been properly aged. On the package there will be a date. That is the date the jerkey was made. Always buy jerkey made at least six months ago… the longer the better. I do, however, recomment avoiding jerkey from 1984, which was a particularly bad year for jerkey farming.
Good luck and enjoy that jerkey!
Best,
Chris
I’m tellin’ Y’all farmers market Jerky. I prefer Hickory Smoked myself. A Pile of Fresh Jerky an a 6 Pack of Yuengling Lager. That is just awsome… Awe man, 'course it’s hard to whistle with a mouth full of salty Meat.

It’s funny, but I didn’t have any aversion to handling or smelling meat until I got pregnant. Before that, I could (and occasionally did) prepare meat for omnivorous family members. After, I couldn’t even stand to be in the same room with the stuff.

If you want REALY good Jerky then you have to make friends with a Bow Hunter, and then you may be able to get your hands on some Venison Jerky… MMM MMM now we’re talking. Take the best beef Jerky you’ve ever had multiply that Taste times 10, and subtract 75% of the fat.
Hmmmm… d’ya think if I stuck several sticks together with some kind of edible glue, I could make a machine-able block to turn a whistle body from? I can see it now…
Announcing The All-New, Chewy Serpent!!SEVEN delicious flavours!
SIX hours of chewy music!
Just the right size for that long, hungry session down th’ pub!
BEST OF ALL, Made by Serpent Gristles!
Cheers,
BW
Antelope Teryaki Jerky! YUMMMMM! It’s even better, if you shoot and butcher it yourself! And then there’s Jackalope Jerky, a very rare treat!
Waiting for the Mothership…
