Review of SnackMasters Beef Jerky, Original, 2-Ounce Packages (Pack of 8)

This is the best commercially available beef jerky around. It's drier than most products out there (Pemican, Jack Daniels) and much more authentic. Sadly, it seems that Trader Joe's has stopped carying it and started using their own, inferior brand. Honestly, it'g going to reduce the number of trips I make to trader joe's by 1/2. Anyway, if you like authentic beef jerkey (like the kind you used to find in the glass jars at gas stations) this is the only brand for you!

Every year there was a jerky tasting contest where families competed for the glory of making the best Texas jerky. To win was considered the highest honor a person could receive. As Jim grew older, he found that there was not a jerky on the market like the tender, delicious beef jerky he remembered from his youth. So, determined to make beef jerky the way it was meant to be, he created "Wild Ride" beef jerky. To create the perfect beef jerky Jim followed these five basic guidelines that inspired "Wild Ride": Make it Flavorful, Make it Tender,Make it Tasty,Make it from Natural Ingredients with No Chemical Additives andMake it Low-Fat while Keeping the Flavor and Tenderness.Made in the USA.

Review of World Kitchens Brown Sugar Beef Jerky, 12-Ounce Bags (Pack of 2)

For price and flavor this jerky would get 5 stars, after having gone through a full three bags. A minor quibble I have is that the bag has quite a bit of tiny bits and pieces. Sure, it all gets chewed eventually, but I do enjoy eating the larger, easier to hold pieces quite a bit more. Also, my GI tract tells me that the amount of MSG - it IS on the label as one of the ingredients - is quite high. I'd rather pay more for jerky that doesn't tear me up.

Review of Herb-Ox Beef Bouillon Instant Broth & Seasoning, 8-Count Packets (Pack of 12)

Can't find bouillon at the major stores around here without MSG.I wish Amazon offered the beef in the little jars.I use this mainly to season food, and the jars would be more convenient that opening the little packets and sprinkling some out into the food I'm cooking.Tastes fine as a seasoning.I haven't made any plain bouillon soup from it, so I can't speak to that.

Review of Knorr/Lipton Noodles & Sauce, Beef, 4.3-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)

Based on the microwave method.

This side dish is very easy to prepare, and takes only 10 minutes.All you need to add is water and maybe a tablespoon of margarine.

Taste wise, it's fine - even comforting on a cold or rainy day, but be warned that it looks NOTHING like the picture on the packet, which was taken of a professional pasta model with full make-up and airbrushed to boot.

Sorry to say it, but the finished product actually looks like a bowl of sticky brown sludge, with the consistency of swamp mud.

Kids will probably love it for the above reasons, but please don't go serving this when your boss is coming to dinner.

About the Brand
In the early 1900s, Lawrence Frank and Theodore Van de Kamp turned a tiny Los Angeles potato chip shop into a multi-million dollar bakery empire. Then in the early 1920s, Lawrence and his brother-in-law Walter Van de Kamp went into the restaurant business together and opened a succession of acclaimed restaurants, including The Great Scot and the Tam O'Shanter.

In 1938, the brothers founded Lawry's The Prime Rib restaurant in Beverly Hills. A destination restaurant for celebrities, powerbrokers, and socialites, The Prime Rib was also the birthplace of Lawry's Seasoned Salt. Lawrence originally created this unique blend of salt and spices for use exclusively in the restaurant but soon introduced to the marketplace in response to overwhelming demand.

A staple in both restaurants and gourmet kitchens, Lawry's Seasoned Salt revolutionized the art of flavoring and became the forerunner of an expanding line of quality products. Innovators in the industry, Lawry's introduced dehydrated sauce mixes, seasonings, marinades, and spice blends to the market. Anticipating and responding to changes in American culinary and lifestyle habits, Lawry's recipe for success saved time and added amazing homemade flavor to meals across America. Lawry's entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to quality, and distinguished reputation for excellence makes it an integral part of a new millennium of flavor.
