The consensus seems to be that if you like traditional, dry jerky, look somewhere else. If you prefer a softer, less dry jerky with ‘exotic’ flavors, step right up, you found your new favorite jerky!
Indeed, I got it last time it showed up on woot. It was far too sweet, but at the same time rather artificial. It was pretty tender (or more accurately, crumbly) and the meat itself tasted better then most store bought stuff. Even so, unless you like beef candy, I’d pass on this offer.
Bought this for the last wootoff. I thought it was pretty good. If you are looking for that regular stay away. If you want to try different flavors this is a must. The chili beef was great but really hot.
I actually have three flavors here at work that I brought in from last purchase. I cannot eat them, and now noone at my shop can either. Sorry if this slows down the wootoff, but it really is not good jerky. the meat is crumby, crumbly, and coated in a powdery glaze of sweet flavored mess. It half dissolves in your mouth, the other half is mealy. Not at all what I want jerky like. But if you have a hard time chewing regular jerky, and like to try new flavors, this will be good for you.
Same here not a fan. Seems like dried meat that was partially reconstituted with high fructose corn syrup. Very, Very, sweet overly seasoned and the fist bit I had still had a very chewy piece of connective tissue.
I tasted all the flavors to give it a shot but ended up throwing them all out.
I purchased this sampler 2011/06/14 from wine.woot and was thoroughly delighted with the taste and texture. All of the meat is very tender. There are two basic types of jerkies included here: lightly-moist/saucey, and dry.
If you have ever had Chinese BBQ Pork Jerky and enjoy it, then you will be in for a treat. The majority of what is included has the coat of sauces that gives flavor.
The Garlic Chili included is of the dry variety (yet still ever so slightly moist). It is very similar to Chinese Beef Jerky, but has a taste very similar to Lee Kum Kee Chili Garlic Sauce.
If you are accustomed to American/Western-Style Jerky that is cured, dried, and tough, this will be a big change for you. If you are adventurous or enjoy Eastern & Asian foods, though, I highly recommend giving this a try.
I will definitely be purchasing my cap of 3 sets!
