Jerky to Iraq
By Jerky Jed
Everyone likes a good night’s sleep. But in the early morning hours of Sunday morning Jerky Jed could not sleep. The phone rings, being so curious as to who was calling at such a time. The other person on the line says he Billy from Iraq, the back ground noise of a long distance connection was evident. Billy says he’s in the Army and would like to have some beef jerky because he wants something from the United States that reminds him of home.
Now I have traveled abroad, but never to anything too close to Iraq. My guess is that in any town in the Middle East, convience stores are not too common. Maybe we should export American Laundries to China, and C-stores to the Middle East? Anyway back to my story about Billy. Billy was a kind, younger sounding person serving our country with his friends. We salute Billy’s efforts here at Jed’s Jerky.com and appreciate his interest in Jerky and Gourmet Snacks. If we can provide some uniquely American flavors to our fighting men and women we are doing our job, because without them the world would be a different place, a darker place in my view. So thank you for all that have served and are now serving! And thank you for the families that have loved ones that are serving! We hope Billy the best and a safe return home and all who serve with Billy! Perhaps we can get a blog entry from Billy soon, we will be sure to post for all, because we should never forget and always appreciate the folks in the United States Armed forces. Thank you for reading this blog, please feel free to post, as I would really like to hear your thoughts.

You might ask yourself, what is brisket beef jerky and how is it different from regular jerky. That’s a good question. Lets break it down, first depends on the company and the style would be my first answer. So in very general terms most beef jerky is made of muscle. Why, well speaking from my position and my opinion cost is the primary point. Plus most generally speaking muscle has very little fat content. Now you have different grades of meat that the USDA has made for identify the different cuts.
Hence the difference between muscle and brisket of beef. Now you might know that Jedidiah’s Jerky makes a wonderful brisket of beef, beef jerky. They call it the Private Reserve, it comes in 4 flavors. Original, Teriyaki, Sweet Spicy, and hot and Spicy. All made of brisket of beef. Different from muscle, brisket is a softer more tender cut of beef. So prepare yourself for a sweet tender jerky experience! Now just today, I tried a typical piece of Beef Jerky, and let me tell you this was one leather chewing experience. Most people trying the Private Reserve always remark about the soft, tenderness of the brisket. So if you are looking for a traditional tough chewing piece of Jerky, the Jedidiah’s Private Reserve Series may not be for you. But on the other hand, a tender, moist jerky is what you crave well look no further!
The next flavor you might ask about is Jedidiah’s Premium Beef Jerky, now this is more traditional and a deeper smoked flavor, very different from the Private Reserve style of Jerky. Not a brisket, but still a nice softer piece of Beef Jerky heaven. The flavor vary from B-B-Que, my personal favorites to Honey Glazed, and the newest in my previous blog entry, the Habanero Chipotle Premium Beef Jerky, please read for a more complete review. So try either the Brisket of Beef Private Reserve or the more traditional flavors of the Jedidiah’s Premium Jerky, you’ll be glad you did!
