Jack Links Beef Jerky Sweet & Hot (Morrisons) By @SpectreUK

I honestly don't know why I sometimes buy the odd packet of beef jerky. Maybe it's the hope that I'll like it one day, and I have to test that over time? I usually find beef jerky tough and fairly dry, so I'm hoping beyond hope that this Jack Links Beef Jerky Sweet & Hot is going to change that opinion. Though I have to admit that I've left this beef jerky at the bottom of my pile of things to write about to almost the best before date.

I workout at home a lot to try and rehabilitate from old injuries and operations such as on my knees and especially my shoulder after a bad car accident some years back. One reason I do like to try beef jerky now and then is because it is high in protein, which helps to fix my body after workouts. With 100% marinated, smoked and dried lean beef, Jack Links Beef Jerky Sweet & Hot fits the bill of a "ready to eat snack" worth trying.

On opening the packet there was a smoky barbecue aroma from the red pieces of dried lean beef inside. On first taste I was pleased to find that this Jack Links Beef Jerky Sweet & Hot was not like eating an old leather boot. Succulent and mouthwatering, this beef jerky also had quite a chilli kick to it. There was barbecue sweetness to start with, oodles of smokiness, and a gorgeous hot chilli burn into the aftertaste. Low on calories and high in protein too. Finally, I may have found a favourite.
