Heidi Jo's Black Pepper BUFFALO Jerky

Hmmm.. I'm too delighted to even start writing about my tryst with the first piece of exotic jerky in my mouth.
So. Just look at it - it's just one thin clean lean strip of meat. Must be the best of the beast!
It smells just like BJ!
(Beef Jerky)
First bite notes - the meat is much softer than beef jerky. The taste of black pepper of quite strong.
It's a very lean meat jerky.. can tell from the looks anyway.
I notice it has a sweet sour taste..
The flavour seems very well infused with the meat. The spice is barely traceable after a few bites, can feel it only in the throat, which is typical of black pepper.
Gets salty with the 5th - 6th bite..
This is surprising - it dissolves quite easily in the mouth!
No gristle whatsoever - I'm guessing this is because it's just one strip of the best meat.
Hmm.. I didn't want to keep this piece for laters, since I had already touched the whole piece to take photos and admire in general..
So I ate more than I usually do in one sitting. The flavour comes across quite strong after a few bites, and it lasts in your throat and below for a while.
I also kept tasting teriyaki flavour, then Lydia looked at the ingredients. It was there - am I getting better at this or what.

Jack Link's Peppered Beef Jerky

Very hard. Very dry, but not flaky dry. The meat is still well bonded. Smells great. Tastes awesome. The spice is almost zilch on the tongue, but hits the throat mildly. Well peppered pieces! The most interesting part is, they taste of a particular variety of raw mango. And I remember experiencing this taste with another brand of peppered Jerky as well. Maybe it's the particular black pepper they use that renders this added smell.
Great pack of Jerky, they could do a little better on the texture.

Jack Link's Sriracha

Spice instantly hits the back of your throat. Not over spicy. Can't say if it tastes just like the sriracha sauce because I've had it only once long long ago.
Meat quality is horribly inconsistent. The texture of each piece is poles apart.
Some very soft. Some very dry and flaky. Some of them have much gristle. Some extremely hard and chewy
