we got judges/need contestants/jerky contest

[ivan salis]

so far one package came from harper ferry WV ---- I got airtight packages of 3 slices each numbered --- 1020 -- A 1020 and 1030 ----of those three ******A 1020 is the one I personally say the "best" -- sweet and spicy yet very tender still -- the 1020 ---deer jerky had a nice salty oriental taste to and being deer ( and thus very lean meat) was nice and chewy as deer jerky is expected to be --- the 1030 tasted like original beef style jerky ---- a bit chewy but not as much as the deer was ( since beef has more fat than deer meat) ---all were fine products made by folks who know what they are doing --- but so far A1020 taste best with 1020 and 1030 tied for second place --- once again I must say all 3 were great product. update -- got the illionois jerky 1010 today ---nice peppery taste very dry & somewhat crispy like well done bacon -- yet tender to chew -- very nice taste favor wize ---- I would judge it this way ---#1 is A 1020 the sweet hot jerky from WV #2 1010 woud be the black pepper jerky from ILL --- with a tie for third place between 1020 and 1030 --- and thats my call . ---good jerky all --very hard to sort out the winner --their all top notch product

You haven't received "any" samples....I thought you posted that you received a package with 3 samples or are you talking about any others than that. Confused...

Gypsy your mailbox is full..

basically I got 2 differant packages on differant days --- one package came from from west virginia --with three samples in it -- one was deer teriyaki flavored --- one was a sweet and spicy beef and one was a "normal" beef style --- then from ILLINOIS I got one pack with some black pepper style beef -- all the samples were great by the way------ feel free to send more anytime for "judging" -- I liked the sweet and spicy from west virginia best ---followed by the black pepper from Illinois --- then -- the deer jerky and "normal" beef tied for 3 rd --- tough call all of them were good .
