Reddit mentions: The best jerky & dried meats

Thanks for the sweet words! Here are the highlights of my food. Hope it helps!

Breakfast: Weekdays I eat what's below. Weekends are a toss up. If i can swing it, I just try to make it a brunch so I save breakfast calories.

• 160 calories | Premier Protein Shake - The chocolate one tastes amazing on its own. If I buy the vanilla one, I will mix it with ice and some coffee and it's the world's best venti sized Iced Vanilla Latte! Protip: buy them at Costco!
  
• 130 calories | Quaker Instant Original Oatmeal - I used to eat this every morning with 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk. It was nice when it's cold out and kept me full.
  
  Lunch/Dinner: Usually it's one of these recipes below. I try to keep meals under/around 300 calories to make room for dessert and snacks!!
  
  
• 324 calories | Baked Chicken with Dijon and Lime with a [Caprese Salad] (http://imgur.com/a/lWIyU) (spinach/arugula, 8 cherry tomatos sliced, 1 tbsp Botlhouse Farms Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette, 0.25 oz nuts, 1 oz fresh mozzarella) - best meal ever and great for meal prep.
  
• 150 calories | Shirataki Stir Fry Noodles (some combo of meat/vegetables with shirataki noodles with a sauce of 1 tsp PB2, 0.5 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, garlic)
  
• 200 calories | Tomato Basil Zoodles - I replace the goat cheese with a Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge and add some chicken.
  
• 245 calories | Spicy Sesame Zoodles with Crispy Tofu - I reduce all the quantities so I can make it low calorie and use PB2 instead of real PB.
  
• 300 calories | Tom Yum Soup with Fresh Tofu and Mixed Vegetables - I love Thai food and this has been the best/low calorie dish I can find on the menu. Remember to ask for fresh tofu though and then they will charge extra for veggies but it's worth it!
  
• 300 calories | Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich (on Sara Lee bread, PB2 and jelly) with Oven Baked Chips
  
• 188 calories | Tuna Sandwich with a pickle (on Sara Lee bread with Tuna Creations and light mayo)
  
• 250 calories | Turkey Sandwich (on Sara Lee Bread with Sriracha Deli Chicken Breast and spicy brown mustard) with Special K BBQ Chips
  
• 220 calories | BBQ Seasoned Chicken Chopped Salad from Safeway - they have some great prepackaged salads if you need something quickly. I usually will add more lettuce to make it feel like I'm eating a lot!
  
  These are my go to meals but I will always venture into skinnytaste.com to find something new!
  
  Snacks/Desserts: I LOVE SNACKS. That's why I keep my meals low calorie. I eat the most snacks between lunch and dinner (usually pace myself with 1 an hour between 2pm and 4pm)
  
  
• Fruits! I eat watermelon and grapes a lot cause all the water makes me feel really full (the feeling that you miss when you start dieting). I will also eat different berries, pears, peaches, apples, etc.
  
• 140 calories | FiberOne Oats and Chocolate - I ended up buying the Costco box so I'm getting through that. Also I need fiber in my diet when i eat too much protein
  
• 80-130 calories | Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt - the ones with toppings are my FAVORITE. Without toppings, they're less calories but you'll get 11g-12g protein either way
  
• 180 calories | Pure Protein Chocolate Bars - best calorie/protein ratio. 21g of protein!
  
• 90 calories | Pacific Gold Beef Jerky - bought it on a whim at Costco, been good source of protein
  
• 60-280 calories | HALO TOP - needn't say much more
  
• 50 calories | Almonds - always nice when you're just dying and need something but are on the way to grocery shop for dinner
  
• 60 calories | Ghirardelli dark chocolate square - would usually have one as 'dessert' after lunch
  
• 25 calories | Marshmallow - usually curbs the late night snack craving if you pop one bad boy
  
• 50-70 calories | Fruit Roll Ups or fruit snacks - always loved them as a child so it's a nice throw back

I've been getting pretty serious into pizza making over the last few years.

Here's how my pizza turn out lately: https://i.imgur.com/qVWyDDF.jpg

My Dough Recipe:

• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Honey
  
• 1 Teaspoon Salt
  
• 3 Cups Flour
  
• 1 Cup Water (100 ~ 110 degrees)
  
• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  
• 2 1/4 teaspoons dry active yeast
  
  My Sauce Recipe:
  
  
• Carmelina Canned Tomatoes (milled / seeds removed)
  
• Carrots (cuts the acidity)
  
• Onions
  
• Celery
  
• Garlic
  
• Oregano
  
• Red Pepper Flakes
  
  (Mince the onion, celery, garlic, carrots. Toss in a pot with a bit of olive oil over a low heat. don't brown them, just get them translucent. Pour in the milled tomato puree. Simmer over a low heat for a few hours until reduced to a sauce like consistency (about 3 - 5 hours). Add in Oregano and red pepper flakes. Salt to taste. Taste while you're making it. If it's too sour, add a bit of sugar or some shredded carrot.
  
  Here are my tips:
  
  
• invest in a pizza/ baking stone. It'll make a world of difference for your crust.
  
  
• invest in a pizza screen, it'll add that signature texture on the bottom and help as a barrier between the stone and dough.
  
  
• less is more for toppings
  
  
• do not use those pre-sliced pepperoni from the supermarket. Get a high quality log from like Bridgford: http://www.amazon.com/Bridgford-Pepperoni-World-16-Ounce-Sticks/dp/B0029JW96I
  
  
• Never ever use imitation cheese or pre-shredded cheese. Pre-shredded cheese is coated in a fine powder to prevent mold developing quickly on the small surface area. This powder sadly also prevents even melting times and prevents browning which develops flavor.
  
  
• Place the pizza stone on the upper middle rack. 2nd from the top. This gives the best even cooking.
  
  
• Preheat the oven at the highest temp it'll go. Once preheat is reached let it continue to warm for 1 hour. This will ensure your stone is the hottest it can get in your oven.
  
  
• If you make dough, let it sit in the fridge for 24 hours to ferment more for chewier crust.
  
  
• Never use cold dough. Let it come to room temp.
  
  
• If you're having trouble tossing the dough, a good cheater method is to pour a tiny bit of olive oil on some baking paper, spread it around, drop the dough on it, drizzle oil on top and spread it out with your hands, turning it after each stretch. Then once u got a nice circle, transfer it to the pizza screen.
  
  
• Get a pizza peel.
  
  
• Brush a melted butter and Italian seasoning mixture on the top of the crust before adding the sauce. This will allow your crust's edges to brown better and give it a nice flavor.
  
  
• Uncooked sauce will give you a fresher tomato taste. Cooked sauce will give you a deeper, more robust flavor.
  
  
• Cut pizza from the center -> out if you have a small cutter.
  
  
• Add basil after cooking and after you've cut the pizza.
  
  
• Add a tiny bit of red pepper flakes to your sauce. Trust me.
  
  
• If using a screen + stone. Place the screen on the stone. Let it cook enough for the bottom to be cooked enough to be handled the transfer it from the screen to the stone directly for getting that crust more firm.
  
  
• A three cheese blend does wonders for the flavor. 80% Mozzerella 10% Prov 10% Parm is a good mixture. Experiment with your favorite cheeses.
  
  
• Try to make your sauce from scratch. Tomato sauces are very easy to make. Pizza sauce consists of tomato sauce + oregano + red chili flakes.
  
  
• 00 Flour / King Arthur Flour gives a bit of a better dough.
  
  
• Above all, experiment and have fun.

Buying pepperoni can be tricky. Normally we'll just grab whatever pack is at the grocery market. Luckily for me I have an Italian market near me and they make their own pepperoni. Its my go to choice as its better than the name brands like Hormel. But there are other options such as buying pepperoni from Amazon.
Check it out! I have listed these from best rating to worst rating and there are some more than these on Amazon if you look at a specific pepperoni and then under the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" or "Sponsored Products", but Ive tried to list the most popular ones. Put the pepperoni on your holiday wish list!

Hmmm this is hard since I kind of eyeball it usually but I'll try to give it to you.

I use:

2 of these sausages which can be found sold as one pack for like 4 bucks at the closest Asian/International market.

3-4 spring onions

3 eggs

I'm having a hard time finding the soy sauce I use and I can only describe the bottle as best as I can since I'm not at home. It's a square bottle with a green and yellow label, but season the rice to taste with however much of your favorite soy sauce.

~3 cups of rice (your preference) (always use kind of dry old rice, never new rice, it's too soggy if you use new rice and doesn't separate when you fry it.)

~4 bacon strips of your preference to flavor.

Cooking oil.





Directions:

1. Cut sausages in half going down the middle long ways so you'll have two semi-circles and then I cut into desired length, maybe half a centimeter lengths. Producing half centimeter semi-circle sausage bites.
   
   
2. Beat eggs and heat up skillet.
   
   
3. When pan is nice and toasty make your bacon strips or you can cut bacon into slices and put them in there, then proceed to let bacon sit and oil drip away.
   
   
4. Pour out majority of the bacon grease and use it to cook the sausage bites until a little crispy and set it with the bacon.
   
   
5. Cut spring onions into desired size, mines were about half a centimeter still, and heat the pan again.
   
   
6. When pan is hot and you make your scrambled eggs and try to brown the outside of the scrambled egg, put it on a cutting board and cut to desired egg bite sizes, mines is normally about thumb sized or smaller so you can taste the egg when you eat it.
   
   
7. A little cooking oil in a hot pan and put your rice, and brown the rice with soy sauce.
   
   
8. Add the other ingredients (eggs, bacon bits, spring onions, sausage) and mix together.
   
   
9. Add more soy sauce to taste if you would like.
   
   
10. Enjoy
    
    Apologies for the "preference" to everything lol, and poor formatting. Hopefully it goes well for you if you try to make it.

Slim Jim - Slim Jim was my first introduction to jerky and I absolutely loved it. Although I would not vote Slim Jim as the best jerky you can get I consider it a classic - hall of fame status if you will and that to me is awesome. Extra awesome points because it was Macho Man Randy Savage approved. OOH YEAH! DIG IT!

I usually just use hormel on my pizza at home but when I really want good pepperoni I order this, the natural casing helps get that cup and char around the edges so you get wonderful little grease pillows on top of your pizza.

Bon apetite. Here is some jerky that I'm really hoping someone will gift me some day.

I have things that are under $5 on my books wishlist :)

I love sushi. I would eat it every day. Possibly. Well, probably not. Once a week? More than I am eating it now. I recently read a little sushi recipe book at a friends and it made me never want to try to make sushi at home again. There are so many things you need to have and do! Like a rice paddle. Or making rice properly. Somehow I always, always burn my rice.

I don't know if this will make you laugh, but it is certainly weird and cheap. ha I wonder if it's good? lol

I don't know any recipes, but I buy Louisville Vegan Jerky and it is delicious and addictive. I get it on Amazon sometimes and they have all kinds of flavors. I definitely recommend it!

​

There is a little blurb on the bag that basically says it's created out of soy protein (not sure what kind) that was flavored and overcooked by accident, and that's how the jerky is made.

Cacao nibs, almond flour, and Planters Pistachio mix (Almonds, cashews, and pistachios), though I'm still working on the frequency. I wish the electrolyte capsules I use were eligible for Subscribe and save, but I haven't found any that are. If you use any sweeteners like Swerve, Truvia, or plain erythritol, stevia, or xylitol you could probably find those for subscription. Also some folks like the Quest bars.

Edit:
Beef snack sticks might be good too, especially with cheese sticks from the grocery store:
Old Wisconsin Snack Sticks, Beef, 26 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007K687HA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_NVoGzbJAF1BTT

Pricey, but Nick's Sticks are pretty tasty and pretty clean

Umai Dry bags and a vaccum sealer is a great place to start.
Vaccum Sealer: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D5TMBE0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_IJbvDbPANG2SB
Umai Dry: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HUS4J4S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wKbvDbVW1HXJQ

For dry aging I suggest the biggest whole loin you can buy.
I've found 20-35 days works best for most cuts but every cut is different so do your research. (35 for ribloin works great). Also don't throw away the trimmings. Grind the trimmings up and mix them with hamburger meat. You'll love it trust me

Awesome. I just ordered a 12 pack from Amazon for $20. Seems like a pretty good deal.

People’s choice! They have carb free beef jerky. I should caveat that the ingredients include herbs and garlic, so it’s not truly carb free but it’s better than any other jerky I’ve found. A little pricey for me to keep it as a staple, but it’s great for hiking or traveling.

Ohhhh Bacon Jerky!!

The only thing better than jerky is bacon. It's like they've made a delicious love child.

• My favorite birthday is when I went to a yummy buffet place and ended up with a pile of gifts. Actually that's most of my B-days! LOL!
  
  Yummy
  
  Happy Birthday!

its honestly pretty good I would definitely give it a try

If you have enough time, Amazon has the best beef jerky that's 0 carb by People's Choice. I ordered the 1lb bag of the original and it was fantastic.

https://www.amazon.com/Peoples-Choice-Beef-Jerky-Keto-Friendly/dp/B0176REM9E?ref=ast_p_pc_bs&th=1

These help! For some reason the 100 cal packs are $40 on Amazon, but if you figure how many nuts you get in 17.5g it's about 5 carbs. Not a bad amount, and you can avoid the potential disasters that sugar alcohols may cause! These are great too. Some other good travel options are Bone Broth Packets, green olive snack packs, and meat sticks! Of course quest bars are always easy to find! But they're $6 at the airport. I also carry some nuun tablets with me because I'm always stressed and not drinking enough when traveling! But have fun! You got this in the bag!

Oh man this contest is made for me! I love trying weird food from other countries.

So here is some dried squid from japan https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006G1KA2/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_R9tWub1SA501P


I want to try it because I like weird food and I like squid and it sounds good.

I'm gonna eat it. What else would I do with it? :P

People's Choice is by far the best commercial jerky I've had. It doesn't have that weird translucent and rubber texture, just simple well cured/seasoned meat. Not all that weird, but great stuff.

On most days I eat a lot of sprouted seeds, coconut butter, almond butter, raw walnuts and brazil nuts, even if I can't find sprouted ones. Macadamia nuts are awesome when you need portable fat calories.

If I've been eating mostly whole foods and want desert, I really like No Cow Bars, and 4g net carbs for 20g of protein isn't bad after all those seeds. I try not to eat soy but this vegan jerky is amazing. The black pepper and smoked chipotle flavors are 2g net carbs/oz, but some of the sweeter flavors are closer to 10g, and the maple Sriracha (absolutely the best) is 4g.

One thing I love is Louisville Vegan Jerky, found on Amazon. It is delicious and has lots of protein. I get the three-flavor pack found here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T83BLAS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_et1UDbQT8NMZS

There's lots of candies that are less than $5 with shipping, my personal favorite are the candies and snacks of the Asian variety. c:

Dried Squid

Some kind of Pocky thing

Pocky, mmmm.

Whatever this is.. xD

All of these strange jerky things..

Strawberry and Chocolate Candy stuff. <3

More dried squid or fish stuffs (which I think is a pretty interesting thing. o:)

Grape gummy candy c:

Roasted watermelon kernals(?)

Sour Cream flavored corn snack.

Cracker Jack!

Had such a nice easter, my mom gave me a basket with a bunch of keto snacks. I wanted to post it but saw everyone else's so I'll post it here XD

• People's Choice keto jerky
  
• Vermont Meat Sticks
  
• Dark Chocolate ChocZero
  
• Cocoa
  
• Mama Lupe Tortillas <3
  
  She also included a bunch of pecans.

Well, I love bacon with an undying passion, but at least I try to get creative with it sometimes :)

Typical breakfasts: leftovers, if there are no leftovers then cook bacon, if no time for cooking then see snack section

Smoothie which also makes a good breakfast: 1/2 avocado + 1 cup almond milk + 1 cup spinach/mild greens + handful of ice cubes + stevia to sweeten + whatever you want to flavor it with (vanilla, cinnamon, etc) ===> blend hardcore

Typical lunch (at the salad bar in the cafeteria at work): DIY guacamole by mashing an avocado and sprinkling in salt, serve over various salady things such as lettuce, cucumber, pile of olives, etc.

Typical dinners: fatty cut of meat such as ribeye, or fatty ground meat if I'm lazy, with some greens sauteed in my accumulated bacon grease, and crumbled bacon sprinkled in

Morning and/or afternoon and/or evening tea: make 2/3 cup of herbal tea and fill the rest with almond milk

Snacks I always keep on hand: canned olives, macadamia nuts, celery sticks+almond butter or guacamole, salami or sausages such as these "snack sticks", more bacon

Typical (only) dessert: coconut milk ice cream, made by pouring a can of coconut milk and a few drops of stevia into my magical ice cream maker. Have not tried it with bacon yet but that's always a possibility

Louisville Vegan Jerky - Maple Bacon, Vegetarian and Vegan Friendly Jerky, 21 Grams of Non-GMO Soy Protein, Gluten-Free Ingredients (3 Ounces) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OQYWG1W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Xd0YDbAEF9PVQ

This one is my fav. Sooo good

I might have to try that extra-thin kind! New texture/thinness to try. Awesome.

For anyone in the keto-friendly jerky market, I'll add I'm a rabid fan of People's Choice Beef Jerky.

Several of their kinds are sugar-free (Old Fashioned Peppered, Old Fashioned Hot & Spicy, and Carne Seca Limon con Chile) and keto friendly with minimal ingredients. For example, the Old Fashioned Peppered is "Ingredients: Beef, Water, Seasoning (Sea Salt, Spices, Garlic)."

I LOATHE all commercial beef jerky, but this stuff is insanely good. I've introduced a couple people to it, who were skeptical due to their own dislike of commercial beef jerky, and now they're requesting it constantly.

It looks like cheapest option for 16 oz of the Cattaneo Brothers is $29 before shipping. (The thin-cut and cowboy cut seem significantly more expensive). People's Choice is 16 oz for $27 including shipping for one-time purchases, but you can get People's Choice as low as like $25-ish if you set up a recurring order which... uh... I admit I might do because I am crazy-in-love with it.

(SIDE NOTE: You can also get People's Choice on Amazon, but you'll pay $2 more, so it's $29 including shipping there, but Amazon is convenient for many people and I often buy it there because I have a giftcard balance on Amazon so it's FREE MEAT OMG.)

1 yummy

2 I like zombies because its actually plausable.

3 you should buy this

4 warm bodies was amazing!

Look for traditional hard smoked jerky, not the new "wet" jerky and you'll find few carbs (generally 1 or less per serving, 6 or less per *pound*)

(Wild Bills, Buffalo Bills, most home made jerky, etc)

Most traditional jerky's also keep better than wet jerky when it's really sweltering out... and are usually vacuum packed by default. They can also substitute for meat in a soup pretty easily if you soak em a bit... add some of dried veggies, lentils, and it's not bad. Nice change.

I'm haunted by this. I'm already vegan because I love animals so much. This baby is just trying to enjoy a nice moment in his short life before he's killed and eaten. Makes me so sad.

In other news I've just discovered this vegan jerky and it's SO GOOD. Expensive though. I'm gonna try making my own.

Costco has these pound bags on sale (every quarter) after July 12 for $11;

http://www.amazon.com/Pacific-Gold-Original-Natural-Resealable/dp/B001BY5JH8

this is one of the best tear-cut under $1/oz commercial BEEF only brands.

.

last year Texans had to kill most of their cattle to freeze or make jerky,

so low price does not mean low quality, just higher supply than demand.

.

If you order from blueox - get the jerky (only) sampler for $45.

http://blueoxjerky.com/p-36-sauls-jerky-sampler-smorgasbord.aspx

it's best not to buy just one meat type or flavor, since the

texture, oils, flavoring varies too much and may surprise you.

once you find something in the sampler worth reordering - go for it.

I like People's Choice: good taste and zero carbs. A bit pricey, though.

I should add a little background:

The steaks are vacuum sealed with special bags that enables the dry-aging process with use of a frost-free modern refrigerator. The bags are basically a “membrane” to let moisture out, but moisture cannot creep in.

Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HUS4J4S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_R3o4BbN8NB597

I order my groceries through FreshDirect so technically I get 90% of my stuff online :).

That being said...the stuff I get outside of that site are:

1. Japanese Mayo to make the spicy mayo that you get at sushi restaurants (just mix in Siracha).
   
   
2. Emergen-C Electro Mix for my electrolytes kick.
   
   
3. Erythritol cause....sugar.
   
   
4. Stevia for a different sweetener used in mostly drinks/liquids where it's more difficult to dissolve the Erythritol.
   
   
5. [Liquid Smoke] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0005Z8NCM/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

7. Maple flavor
   
   
8. Awesome awesome peanut butter
   
   
9. Kerrygold unsalted butter. My grocery store doesn't carry it :(
   
   
10. Vitamins from various places...Vitamin D-3, Magnesium, Daily Multi-vitamin, Cod Fish Oil, etc.
    
    EDIT: Formatting.

I was at the ginormous coffee machine, punching buttons for a black coffee, like a good ketoer, when one of the salesmen (car dealership) walked over and said "You know, the mochas are really good!" Ugh. I know!!! I hate him!!! If they ever succeed in talking me into a new car, it will NOT be from him!

Car was done early so I left right as my fast ended at noon. Started feeling a little out of it and my eyesight got blurry. Hypoglycemic symptoms, according to a quick google search. Think its time for some blood tests and maybe adjust Metformin dosage (T2D). Didn't think this would happen so soon! I barely remember what hypoglycemia feels like!

Didn't feel like walking to the cafe across the street for a bunless burger. Ate the meat stick in my purse then took myself out to Taco Bell. Had a chicken + extra chicken power bowl. It's much better than the steak. No beans, no rice, extra guacamole. So dirty! So good!

Jerky, but look for the good stuff with minimal ingredients. These are also good.

Let me eat like the... the... Okay, what animals eat squid again?

I like this brand a lot, it's made with smiple ingredents and family made. They have a lot a different flavors but I can only vouch for the original.

cause noms

Patrick Kane is our hero.

I've actually made bacon jerky. It was made with extra thick cut bacon. I don't think it would last as long as regular jerky, but it's gone so fast that it doesn't really matter.

Edit: Also this stuff is pretty decent.

I highly recommend some good old beef jerky! These are a little pricy but grass-fed and darn tasty: http://www.amazon.com/Grass-Fed-Snack-Sticks-packages-sticks/dp/B007HQFSMU/

You should get you some dry age bags, age the steaks for 1 month, then sous vide and reverse sear them. Takes $10 a pound steak to $40 a pound or more steak. Easy peasy, buy bag , vacuum seal them in bag, put in fridge between 33-39f and wait. Actually, waiting the 27 days is the hardest part.

before people ask

you can buy these on amazon & 2 or google 'zombie blood energy drink' ;-)

Here you go, OP. Depending on where you live you may want to go for one that is "fulfilled by Amazon":

>selling jerky, by the pound, for $15.

That sounds amazingly cheap. Was it good jerky? I've had this before, and it's really good, but runs over twice that.

Also, the jerky you get in grocery and convenience stores is awful.

This is my fav though its not really widely available: http://www.jandjmeats.com/

Bacon Jerky :)


Edit: Its usually a buck more, and over $6 at the local Albertsons.

These are good, especially with some guacamole, and they are cheap...

They're commonly called "beef jerky sticks" or similar, such as this one.

I think a popular one is called "Slim Jim".

Damn, got a pic of the package? I'm trying to find it to order on google 😅.

Like this? https://www.amazon.com/Kam-Yen-Jan-Chinese-Sausage/dp/B000A0ZEBA

Used this for the pepperoni.

I tried to get a good shot of the crust, but it was dark in the kitchen. Side crust pic.

From what I remember, he recommends Vermont Smoked Pepperoni in his pizza recipes, and I've used it a bunch. Really tasty.

If only I had a trader Joe's near me!

I usually pick this up if i'm going out on a hike or something and want some jerky. http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00APK7UN0

I really dig these. I get them in 1lb bags from amazon. (Cheaper if you order directly from the company, but whatever)

If you're in the US, Amazon has it, but it's more expensive than at an Asian supermarket. Beats driving 40 minutes though.

Mmmmm...jerky.

This guy

I like to take small packets of nuts, individually wrapped cheese(Like string cheese or cheddar sticks), and there's a bacon jerky available now that has very low carbs since it's not bbq or teriyaki flavored. Oberto Bacon Jerky. I get mine at Walmart.

Oh now. It's real pork bacon.
