| - I bought four different types of beef jerky, @$27.00 per bag. Beef jerky is supposed to be tender, dried, and flavorful. A little bit of toughness is OK, but a stringy, tanned leather quality is not acceptable.
My thoughts:
Cherry/Maple: Almost all of this bag of jerky is so tough as to be inedible. Flavor isn't all that either. I wouldn't buy this again.
Peppercorn/Black Pepper: Imagine taking a bite of jerky, and then putting your tongue into a spoon filled with cracked black pepper. The sensation is intense, and not entirely pleasant. One piece of this jerky at a time, is about all that I can tolerate. Most of the jerky in this pack has been tender. I would not buy this flavor again - just too rad flavored.
Teriyaki: My favorite flavor. Very disappointed with the quality of the jerky in this pack. Most of the beef was like shoe leather. Tough. Stringy. Some entire pieces inedible, and had to throw into the trash. At this price point, that's not good. The flavor is wonderful, but the abysmal quality of the jerky itself is a letdown. I would and will buy teriyaki beef jerky again - from Flying J truck stops, where their quality is far superior and the prices are MUCH cheaper.
Honey Barbecue: Supposedly, their top seller. Good barbecue taste. There were some tender pieces in this bag, which should have been the norm. I don't like it well enough to buy it again though.
Fried peanuts: I bought four bags of these, "eat the shell and all," thin skinned, salted peanuts. I love these things. Also, if you have a problem with not "being regular," these peanuts will cure that problem for you. LMAO. Roughage, folks.
Saltwater taffy. I bought two or three bags. I'm not sure, because these bags are all gone. I got hooked on this stuff as a kid, while visiting Myrtle Beach. This taffy is excellent, especially the cinnamon, banana, and peppermint flavors. Its hard not to eat ten pieces at a time.
They feature an assortment of Hot sauce(s), some of which promise that you will feel the burn - three times. Ouch!
The salespeople are friendly, and they will gladly offer samples. They have been trained to upsell customers - so be careful, or you'll spend too much - like I did. ;o)
Bottom line: I would definitely go back if I were in the area. I would be buying taffy and peanuts though. Their jerky is just too damned expensive, and the quality is not evident.
