just like your moms pussy, AMIRITE BOYS?

jack links is fucking disgusting

It’s too expensive for the amount of nutritional value. It’s not that hard to dehydrate shit. I’m not paying 5 dollars an ounce for meat.

>>14267573
do you know what cope means or do you just parrot everything you read on 4chan

>>14267608
It's slightly meat flavored candy

Try soy jerky my friend

>do you know what cope means or do you just parrot everything you read on 4chan

>>14267733
So yes then?

I'll make my own in my electric smoker if there's a decent cut on sale, as a treat.

Freeze it for 25 minutes, slice thin, marinate overnight and let it smoke all day at 180F. Its nice to have the boys in the garage on a Saturday, drinking and snacking on them when they're still hot.

100% wholesome.

>>14267535
The worst part is the taste. It tastes like dry soup mix

it's course, it gets everywhere.

It's a rich man's snack. That's about it.

More like trashy.

by "the boys" I though about his kids, and by "drinking" I though about sodas or lemonade.

>>14267535
It's addicting as hell provided you don't buy steak flavoured candy and make your own

Of course the human air mattresses here can't enjoy jerky.

Jerky doesn't cost $5 an ounce, and the price of most store bought jerky isn't that unreasonable compared to the cost of beef you'd need to buy to make it.

>>14267733
Wojak posting means you lose

>>14267535

sliced asshair thin + bone dry = only jerky that worky, little children who like chewy sweet gummy beef HATE IT

>>14267535
i love it but shit's fucking $5 for a small 50g pack.
fucking bullshit.

>>14269992
>the price of most store bought jerky isn't that unreasonable compared to the cost of beef you'd need to buy to make it.
What the fuck are you talking about? Beef is relatively cheap, especially if you're just going to make jerky out of it, and all you need is a smoker or dehydrator.

>>14271095
Meat is priced by weight, and raw meat has a lot more water in it than jerky.

there's soft jerky that nearly melts when you bite it but i like tough jerky so i can chew it like bubblegum

>>14267535
that's the point. Fridges are a recent thing.

>>14271265
I can get beef jerky for like $1 an ounce at the store. That's roughly what I'd be paying for raw beef after all the water is removed from it.

>>14271265
Beef is cheap jerky is cheap hurr durr . People who make their own jerky to `save money` deserve to be poor and fat

>>14267733
>"cope"/"seethe" poster gets BTFO and has to resort to soiak posting
many such cases

Pic related, the superior dried beef snack.

>>14274017
I tried this the other day. It was shit

>>14274017
>literally just jerky but we cut it after curing instead of before

>>14274026
Why was it shit?

>>14274039
It's completely different in taste and texture.

best thing about home made jerky, any animal really, is when your jaw muscles hurt from the amount of force needed for every chew
muscle ache afterwords
like you've done 10 handstand pushups, but you used your face

>>14270017
>Wojak posting means you lose

I don't believe you in the slightest.

>>14274040
It tasted like spiced vinegar but you chewed it

>>14267535
Out of all the picky eaters I've met in my life, I've never met someone who disliked beef jerky. Some of the commercial brands out there are gross, but Jerky itself is a gift from heaven and you should be ashamed.

I like it, but the store bought stuff is normally pretty gross and too expensive for what it Dad used to make it at home with a food dehydrator and it was awesome. I forgot what kind of cut of beef he used though. Any idea on what cuts work best?

>>14274803
Any lean cut will do. Don't want too much fat or it will spoil. Jerky is more about the marinade than the cut, but a tender cut will obviously be better.

>>14267633
>do you know what cope even means
>t. I am very smart

>>14267733

>>14274739
You're not supposed to be able to taste the vinegar if it's prepared correctly.

>>14275064
you're just as bad as them with the WHITEWALL BLACKTEXT tumblr-tier image.

>>14271275
came here to say this

>when the meat is fatty

>>14274017
south africa here, is there a difference between biltong and jerky? I always just assumed jerky was the english name.

>>14271275
>can get a kilo of pork chops for $3
>a 50g pack of fucking jerky costs $5~6
nah it's all bullshit.
can literally make 5x as much jerky for the same price by making it yourself and it's piss easy to do it.

>>14274017
>hipster jerky

>>14277408
The only difference is we cut our raw meat into strips before curing, where biltong is a whole slab of cured meat that you then cut slices off of.

I like it, but I never eat it cause it's really expensive
I could buy like 200 grams of nice kabanosy sausages for the price of one tiny packet of this stuff, what the fuck

>>14267733
Cope

>>14275064
Just take a minute to visualize the person who made this.

>>14277901
Store bought jerky is cheaper and better than homemade

>>14277925
Why are you so poor?a big bag of jerky costs like $6 and would last for days

>>14277991
It's not about being poor you dumb sack of shit, it's about not wanting to be ripped off like a moron.

>>14277991
well, maybe prices are different in the US, but over here 6$ is a small bag that you'll most likely eat in one sitting

>>14268109
How do they make it so soft?

>>14277991
He’s prolly European, as I am, because over here beef jerky is extremely expensive. $6 will get you a 30g bag of beef jerky here, not even good one, which you can easily eat in a couple of minutes.

>>14267733
damn this really backfired

sorry guys for posting this

>>14277408
It's much sweeter and drier.

>>14277901
You need to buy it by the kilogram if you want a good price.

>>14278084
Lots of fat

>>14278105

It's expensive everywhere. If it's nice quality, it's roughly the same price as 3x the amount of meat.

I saw chuck roasts yesterday at Aldi for roughly $22 each. I think beef prices are up in the USA at the moment. There's scarcity, I feel on many items, like reduced amounts of chicken for sale, though I haven't seen a change in those prices much. So, my info is old. I haven't been in months but when I used to stop at Publix or Winn-Dixie for a nice big rump roast for entertaining, at least 4.5lbs, it is roughly $38--40 for the roast. Add double the money for something prime or standing rib roast, etc. When you slice down a steak from any of those, figure $10/portion or more minimum, which is what you'd pay per steak for BBQ grilling some ny strips or ribeyes. You can go to Costco if you want something slightly bigger for around the same price. I can't think what eye of round costs for pound because it's been a very long time since I bought the leaner cuts you'd actually use for jerky. I'm grilling outside and want a traditional steak cut, stir frying with filet, or else making chuck into stew.
But, I know from the times I've used my dehydrator, that the lean stuff is best to dehydrate into jerky, no fibrous connecting tissue, no ribbons of fat, and a big 4lb roast will yield not even 1/2 pound of jerky. Homemade is best! Big pieces that aren't processed or too small or too sweet. There's some other tricks brands use to stretch the weight of a bag.

>>14267689
If your brand hasn't been around since at least before WWI it should be illegal to use "est."
Fucking pretentious niggery

>>14277994
Theres no way you would be that mad if you weren't poor so you settle for ground meat with soy filler for a $2 savings

>>14267535
Then don't get any, more for me. I've loved the stuff ever since I went to this meat market as a kid and had probably the best beef jerky in the world. It's a bit more pricey there but it's out of the way so if I'm going there I go all out.

>>14277987
No it's not, dumbass. You might find it cheaper but it's not better.

AS I LIKE MY WIMMIN

>>14267535
Tastes like a mummified ball sack also

>>14267535
just like yer mum

>>14267618

The thingis it's the wrong kind of food to be marketed as 'normal' weekly grocery shopping to begin with. Jerky and other dried meats such as biltong were created for a particular circumstance i.e. having a long lasting, protein, calorie dense piece of food when traveling in the wilderness and food is scarce. It's nothing more than a novelty product for most and the only people who would appreciate it for what it was intended to be for are precisely not the average city-living or suburb dwelling inhabitant.

Does anyone else's teeth hurt when eating jerky, at least certain store-bought brands? Not from the meat being too tough; it seems more like a chemical effect of one of the preservatives.

>>14274017

Biltong is nice, but as >>14277909 says, it's kind of a fad right now, and thus too expensive.

>>14278148
Which one, jerky? Because jerky is only as sweet as the marinade. Personally, I hate sweet jerky. I prefer it smokey, spicy and dry as fuck. Soft, sweet jerky is the fucking worst.

>>14267595
Heheheheheh pwnd

>>14278822
Actually, sometimes my teeth CRAVE to chew on jerky. Almost like am a teething baby. It's a weird sensation when the craving for it hits me. My teeth are healthy n good shape top, but there is a phantom soreness when I imaging jerky and I just have to have it.
I've definitely eaten really hard thicker jerky though that hurt my teeth and jaw. Hmm

$1 per ounce $11 for two pounds of meat. Stop being poorfags

>>14267535
i COULD SAY THE SAME ABOUT YOUR MOM BUT THAT DOESNT STOP ME FROM BUTT FUCKING HER ASSHOLE

Sizzle

I'm thinking about making ground beef jerky sticks.
Just get ground beef, add curing salt and flavoring, pipe into sticks and dehydrate for a while.
I love beef jerky but it's too expensive, ground beef is cheap and easy to work with.
Does anyone have experience making ground beef jerky?

>>14278084
I know the ones in the pic is made from ground up beef

>>14267535
It's delicious. Not even hard to make yourself.

Have any of you tried Savage Jerky? I remember Linus Tech Tips use to shill it all the time on his Wan Show livestreams. Is it actually that good?

>>14281392
Yeah it's pretty decent. Some of the flavors are a bit hit or miss (black pepper's way too salty even for jerky) but the maple bacon jerky is fantastic.

Also Linus didn't shill it on his show, they're a sponsor of the show. Shilling implies covert advertising, they gave his group/company money for ads.

>>14281405
Yeah, I know they sponsored his show. I was just using the phrase colloquially. I wasn't trying to imply any wrong-doing on Linus's part.

>>14281405
>Shilling implies covert advertising, they gave his group/company money for ads.
Here's a tech tip for you: shut the fuck up

>>14269835
you need to be 18 to use this site

>>14279134
...a pound is 16 ounces, retard
that's $11 for barely more than half a pound

>>14281461
How about you learn words you colossal embarrassment?
>>14281429
No harm done, just wanted to make sure you know what the word actually means.

You guys should try making some though, it's not difficult.

>>14281554
It's too expensive to make and isnt as good as store bought

>>14281568
If you say so.

Pepperoni Jerky is pretty based.
The boys over at Epic Meal Time have their own brand they call "pizza in a bag" they sell it at most walmarts, it's fucking amazing. you have no idea.

>>14278812
That’s ridiculous. Milk was created for newborn children, yet we still drink and cook with it as adults.

>>14274039


>>14277922


>>14277408

There's a big difference. Jerky is thin sliced and dried quickly, has a very low water activity and is tough & chewy - completely dried.

Biltong is dried slowly over many days and has a much higher water activity, the inside is still pink and is still very soft.

>>14267535
Fuck you its delicious. [Depending on seasoning]

>>14267608
this
you can make like 4x as much for the same price if you do it yourself in your oven.
