New food experiences
Until a week or so ago I had never tried beef jerky. I didn’t feel it was something that was missing in my array of cuisine experiences, quite the opposite in fact, as having seen it before couldn’t imagine what anyone could possibly desire in a dry, chewy beef product. So when a friend of ours brought some quality organic beef jerky back from New York I was a bit dubious, but tried it anyway.
The Hickory smoked jerky was surprisingly nice and the packet didn’t last long. Who knew that you could dry pieces of cow to within an inch of it’s life and end up with such a nice tasting product. The other great thing about it is that, certainly the organic stuff, is actually quite a good snack to have as it is only 3 % fat, low carbohydrate and limited processing or artificial ingredients. Having got hooked on the chewy goodness I trawled the internet trying to find someone who would deliver to the UK. I finally came across Wild West Jerky and put an order in sharpish. The delivery came this morning and I wasted no time in tucking in. Their jerky is nice but not having tried a wide variety of producers, I’m not exactly a connoisseur. I like it anyway and it’s going to be featuring in my lunch box at work so I can hopefully resist the mountain of chocolate and cake that turns up in our staff room from time to time.

I’ve never tried beef jerky either but I’d be willing to give it a go given your good review, it sounds delicious.
