Who Loves Jerky?

The real question is who DOESN'T love jerky!

I recently did a full review of a plethora of exotic jerky (http://camocandace.blogspot.com/2014/09/jerky-dynasty-tasty-review.html) but I also had the chance to review something even more fun...its still jerky but...

 

 

It's bacon jerky!!!

 

Jeff's Famous Real Bacon Jerky

Yes it's actual bacon and its definitely something you have to try.

It's sweet from the honey glaze which helps balance the spice of the sriracha!

Very flavorful, a good amount of spice from the pepper & has a grainy texture.

 

Oh and after I had 2 pieces, my husband ate the whole bag! So for all you BACON LOVERS out there, this is the prefect stocking stuffer for the bacon enthusiast in your life!

 

Dan's Smoke House X-Treme Hot Beef Jerky

This Hot Beef Jerky was my favorite of the 3 items I reviewed. I have tried A LOT of 'bag jerky' with all the road trips we take hunting but this is ranks at the top of my list!

 

Very good texture, A LOT of flavor (you can see the crushed red pepper on it), and just the right amount of spice. I wouldn't say its X-TREME as the package indicates but its definitely hot which this South Texas girl loves! Spice it up!

 

Dusty's Habanero Snack Stick (Beef)

Finally, I usually steal a bite or two when my husband buys jerky sticks but I was not sharing this with him (ok he had a little taste but I took the rest!)

Very good flavor, spicy with a little bit of a tang from a mustard ingredient.

 

Make sure you head over to www.JerkyDynasty.com to cure all of your jerky cravings! Don't forget Christmas is right around the corner & these make the best stocking stuffers....hint, hint!

 

 

Jerky Dynasty - A Tasty Review!

 

How could I pass up a chance to review jerky from Jerky Dynasty! As a hunter, jerky is one of the staples of my diet, especially when in the field so I was excited to start the taste testing process!

 

I received a sample pack from www.JerkyDynasty.com and passed out samples to my husband, a non-hunter coworker and of course myself. Below will be the compiled results of each flavor including a 'star' rating from 1 to 5 (5 being the best).

 

 

 

Venison Fire Stick (5 stars)

It's venison so of course its good!

Spicy (might be too much for someone who doesn't like spicy foods)

lean, good meat, excellent flavor

 

 

Pheasant Stick (2 stars)

Very soft texture, almost mushy probably my least favorite.

Non-hunter tester stated it reminded him of candied yams & Thanksgiving flavors

 

 

Elk Peppered Stick (5 stars)

Great flavor, prime meat, lean, healthy - nearly perfect!

 

 

Wild Boar BBQ Stick (4.5 stars)

Being an avid pig hunter this ranked towards the top as well! Very mild with a touch of wild.

Very good BBQ flavor, not overpowering, sweet & sour, slight teriyaki

 

 

Beef & Ostrich Stick (3 Stars)

Sweet & mild. Nothing extraordinary.

Non-hunter tester said it had a good 'licorice burst'

 

 

Alligator Stick Cajun Style (2 Stars)

Least favorite of the alligator jerky.

Mushy, not much Cajun flavor, greasy & very strong alligator flavor.

 

 

Alligator Cajun Strip (3.5 Stars)

Tough but once softened up has a good spice. Nothing overpowering.

 

 

Alligator BBQ Strip (4.5 Stars)

Favorite alligator jerky flavor, good BBQ flavor, sweet, tender, smoky/hickory

Softer than the Cajun alligator strip

 

 

 

Smoked Buffalo Strip (4.5 Stars)

Great overall jerky, hint of buffalo, tender

 

 

Kangaroo Strip (2 Stars)

Very tough, almost leathery.

Very "gamey" but different & unlike anything I have had before.

 

 

 

It's always exciting to try new things, especially food and wild game jerky so although not every piece was my favorite I would eat them all again!
