Editor’s Note (that’s me, eh): There’s going to be a few of these jerky reviews and am going to use the intro from the first one, for all. So, if the first part seems a little redundant, it’s because it is, foo.
A few weeks ago the fine people at Jerky.com sent Meathenge Labs a load of jerky for our consideration. MmMmmm, Review Jerky! I smell a party comin’.
A meeting of the minds were scheduled for a mid Saturday get together. These would be, Cookie & Cranky of I’m Mad and I Eat, Chilebrown and Ms. Goofy of Mad Meat Genius, Zoomie of Zoomie Station, Sourdough Monkey Wrangler & his monkeys (even if for a few moments to share some home brew) and a good friend.
If you so choose, please visit for a few snapshots of the afternoon.
Here’s the new stuff, you knob.
This jerky shows up about twice as thick as the last batch and not quite as dry (this is neither good nor bad, just different). The meat can be cut with your teeth fairly easily. As you can see the texture is quite smooth compared to the last one. It’s a very subtle, meaty little jerky, sweet with a little smoky and finishes fairly clean. The ingredient list is quite short and doesn’t include all kinds of wacky language or preservatives (read here: I knew what was in there). Chomp!
Thank you so much Jerky.com for your care package, we enjoyed the afternoon greatly.

Sirs,
Jerky dot com really hit the right audiance with this sample. Makes me want to go out and buy them all……
Oh, I have a sister who eats nothing else. I swear. Man you dont want to walk behind her in the flea market. Whew!
I liked the Pineapple Jerky the best. The Jerky that was shapped like Grapefruit wedges was different.
Nice looking jerky there. Substantially darker than the other sample. Was the smoke flavor more intense, or do you think that was a by product of a marinade?
Hey jeff,
No intensity, was a part of the marinade. One of those liquid smoke deals.

Some of them were pretty yummy. I’m not into strange flavors; I like it straight down the jerky road.
And yes, the pineapple jerky was killer.
We are glad that everyone liked the jerky we sent! The pineapple jerky is the best kept secret in the jerky industry…isn’t that stuff awesome?! Before trying it, people liken it to the dehydrated pineapple you get in trail mix…but it is absolutely no comparison.
We have a few new products coming in soon. Maybe some more of it will come your way. 😉
Have you seen the bacon jerky? Everybody who loves bacon needs to try it. http://www.jerky.com/product/BCF001.html
