Beef jerky and other US specific items.

Tetrian · 02-12-2008, 04:07 AM

Well, since my mother recently went to the US(houston/texas) for the second time this year to visit a friend, the question naturally came again - What do you want me to bring home from that place this time? Last time i had her buy some underarmour for me and some victorias secret stuff for my girlfriend.(both things that arent really available in europe)

This time however, i was clueless - Put on a few underarmour shirts on the "shop for me" list, and went for some books that i could save a bit on by making her bring them home(book shop didnt have most of them, she did manage to find a copy of "Tucker Max: I hope they serve beer in hell" though). Girlfriend made a comprehensive list of Victorias items she wanted, and some shoes aswell, oh and a few bags of candy(skittles, her friend is in love with those).

However, besides underarmour and book(s) i really had no clue what the hell would be interesting to get over there.

So i asked a few friends, one of them being a complete sicko for Beef jerky convinced me to try getting some of that from over there, so now i have a few bags of Jack Links original/barbeque/pepper bags sitting infront of me. And i have to say, this shit is weird. Another friend of mine said it the best - It tastes like shit, but in a good way. However, whats the best brands of beef jerky, and how the hell does Jack links compare to it?

Also, what is interesting to get from the US that doesn't really exist in Europe?

Thanks in advance,
Tetrian

By calling Beef Jerky weird you have angered god if he does exist. It is the food that legends are sung of.

What the fuck is that crap?

Real Beef jerky doesn't come from a grocery store.

Real Beef jerky makes your gums bleed as you chew on it.

best jerky I've ever had was homemade by my freshmen roommates parents. They would go out hunting for deer, and make their own Venison Jerky. SOOOO GOOD.
