beef jerky...OMG!

DUO · 28th August 2007, 2:38 PM

i cant believe ive never had jerky before - i cant stop eating the stuff. i love it.

The only one ive actually had and liked is Jims jerky (http://www.jimsjerky.com.au). Im not a fan of the stuff you get from coles. This stuff is dry, chewy, not oily, tastes great - not like some plastic crap ive had.

I was wondering if any1 else has had jerky they recommend. I was looking for another good brand cuz i thought $60kg was a bit steep. Did a bit of a search (on here and google) and found NT jerky (http://www.territoryjerky.com.au) but $31 per 250g... maybe not

Any people have any fav's

Note: ive seen the "make your own jerky / biltong" and whilst interesting i have no intention on making it

There is a butcher around the corner from me in Perth.. Conways i think it's called.

They do the most amazing biltong and drowers (can't spell it right.. basically dried sausages..). I've probably spent close to $600 on stuff from them over the last 4 or 5 months. I take it up to site and chew on it whilst i'm working underground.

EDIT: your jims jerky link doesnt work?

wtf dude ?? When i posted you didnt make reference to the origional biltong thread. Then you edited your post at 9:35 at night, and flame me for pointing out a similar link that i thought could help you make your own.

Seriously you can go fuck yourself if you post another help me out thread.

I used to eat a few packets a day of "Roadkill" jerky when I was in Exmouth, washed down with EB on tap. Just the thing after a hard day's SCUBA or chasing whale sharks.

Got the fella to send over a few packs later on, the first batch was good, the second less so.

Melbournite? The South African produce stall from Queen Victoria markets makes a great biltong, I prefer a jerk however.

doug81 · 28th August 2007, 10:54 PM

Agree with Agg, Roadkill is the best! We sell it in our pub and both the regular and chilli are awesome! Although I have to say, Barossa Fine Foods make an excellent jerky, and it's only about $38/kilo when ordered in a kilo or more (bought a couple kilos for me and a mate about a year back. talk about jerky overload!

)

If in Sydney, try:

Stanley Street Meat Markets

Stanley Street does amazing droewors and biltong. Also, amazing snapsticks (really dry, thin sticks of biltong)

Do I sense a bulk buy??

Jerky is awesome!

I live in the NT so obviously I eat the NT Jerky stuff. Whilst it isn't bad, it isn't great either. I had a mate who made some during the dry season and that shit was the bomb!
