“Meat candy” does not sound very enticing, at least not to me.

    Put like at least 5 of them in a bag that is appropriately sized and appropriately priced and I’m all over this shit.

    There are TWO of us now!

    But yeah, I do love some good jerky. I used to make it, it’s fun to do as long as you carefully adhere to food safety rules. Anymore it’s a very limited thing for me for health reasons but a well-made bit of jerky is an awesome thing.

    I haven’t tried this bacon yet, but if it’s a bacon/brown sugar thing I likely will, the sum being greater than the parts. But the bacon premise is iffy, depending on whether they are cooking this and/or how much fat they’re leaving on it, because you’re eating it room temp. Room temp bacon grease, while still delicious in flavor, is still just a lump of grainy lukewarm grease in the mouth if there’s too much of it.

    Could be great, could be ass. I guess we’ll see.

      I actually just found bacon jerky in the convenience store the other day. Like 15 pieces in a bag but I think it was something like $10. It was ok, definitely what I expected but nothing more. 340 calories for the whole bag. Didn’t bother checking the other nutrional stuff. 6.5/10.
