Jerky Days

It's been 3 months since my last post. Nowadays I would post my food pictures to Facebook instead. Yes, Facebook basically has everything that you need for internet social profiling. You can post pics, videos, notes... everything.

But again, I still like blogs better due to its customizable features.

Not until recently, I have been addicted to eating jerky. It started with Jack Link's Teriyaki beef jerky. It's probably a little weird, but I like to eat something that is a little tough to chew. Not too tough, though.

During Thanksgiving break at New Orleans, I found many different types of jerky. There was one alligator jerky that I had down there, but unfortunately I didn't take a picture of it.

I bought several types of jerky back home: maple duck, elk, ostrich, kangaroo and buffalo. Well, they're not pure duck or pure elk or anything - all of them are mixed with beef. The textures are not so different either. I'd say elk and buffalo have the roughest texture, and they are a little bit hard to chew.






The duck is pretty good - at least it's slightly more tender than pure beef stick.

I'd say Kangaroo jerky was pretty good, but it's not my favorite somehow.

Ostich is not so bad. I'd say it's a little tender.

Elk... a little tough, but I like it.

Buffalo was the toughest jerky among the 5 that I bought.

I love eating jerky - I love Bee Cheng Hiang's pork jerky (is bak kwa a jerky?) the most, but they don't sell that here in US.

Even so, I wish they could put less salt in the jerky. I have low blood pressure, so I'm not so concerned about getting hypertension. It's just the saltiness that bothers me...
