I will know this is a success when I start seeing it on the tables at the gun show flea market.

Some things are sacred and should not be touched. It's bad enough that we have turkey jerky.

If they want to market meat substitute, it's a free country, but they should call it something other than jerky.

"Some things are sacred and should not be touched. It's bad enough that we have turkey jerky."

WTF is wrong with turkey jerky?

Jerky is any dried, salted meat, including fish and poultry.

You're limiting yourself if you're sticking your head in the sand and only trying beef jerky.

So far, in addition to beef and turkey jerky, I've had:

Elk
Venison
Rabbit
Moose
Cape Buffalo
Zebra
Alligator
Tuna
Salmon


the only one that I didn't really care for was lamb jerky. It had a pretty strong flavor and left a greasy slick in my mouth.

You forgot about the Tofudebeest and the Spamalope.

Spam is...

redish...

meatish...

something.


Tofu is absolutely disgusting. I can eat a little bit in hot and sour soup but that's about it.


As for all of the weird kinds of jerky I've tried, you get to try stuff like that when you work at the NRA...

Picked up some alligator jerky at KyGunCo on my way to the range. Took a bite while driving and almost drove off the road it was so disgusting. Maybe there's better but I'm almost afraid to try, can't get the memory of that flavor out of my mind.

I happen to have a couple of batches of beef jerky in process right now.  Hopefully that will eradicate the memory of having read about this meatless jerky.

I loaned my dehydrator out 5 years ago. I guess it's time to buy a new one. I wonder if a pellet smoker would turn down enough?

"Meatless Jerky" is properly referred to as either "Dried Fruit" or "Potato Chips."

The problem is not with meatless "jerky."  The problem is making a meatless food try to taste like meat.  Just don't.  Make your dried veggie stick taste good and don't call it jerky and maybe I will buy it.

I think this is a lot of the problem with substitute type products.  By labeling it as jerky, your audience will implicitly compare it to what they expect from jerky.  Any deviation from that standard, in any way, is viewed as inferior.  Even if it's better in some ways.  Stop trying to make it as a 1-to-1 replacement.  Market it as it's own thing.

Pemmican has tallow in it, so it might not qualify as meatless.

Yup. I like a bunch of vegetarian foods. Just market it as vegetarian, instead of trying to convince me I won't be able to tell the difference between it and meat.

You never see anyone promote stuff the other way. "Try our new "tastes just like broccoli" ribeye!"

I'll only eat tofu in one specific recipe: cut it into cubes, coat it in corn starch, fry it in oil, add teriyaki sauce, sautée, serve with broccoli over rice.

I actually enjoy tofu although my wife does not.  I most commonly use it as Devonai describes, with General Tso sauce or with a Patak's curry simmer sauce over basmati rice. Speaking of which, this is my favorite General Tso sauce:

1/2 cup hoisin sauce
6 Tablespoons rice vinegar
6 tablespoons chinese cooking wine
6 Tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
6 Tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon cornstarch (if making on the stove)

Combine and heat to boiling until thickened.

Dehydrated sweet potato slices are pretty good.  I make them mainly as a nutritious dog treat, but I eat some of them too.  Peel the SP and slice it a generous 1/8" thick.  I dip the slices in a sulfite solution, but you could use vitamin C or Fruit Fresh or probably just blanch them and do the same thing.  Then dry them on the dehydrator.  They dry pretty quickly and have a really good crunch.
