    I've heard it's nearly impossible to get beef jerky in the United Kingdom... is this true?

    lol

    from what I gathered off of the simpsons and such like, its thinish strips of tough chewy, salted meat, much like a pepperami, us brits could relate too. Probably taste good with a couple of beers n a rubgy match

    It's strips of beef that's cured and smoked then seasoned with salt and usually black peppers. It's salty, yet moist on the inside and slightly chewy.

    Hahah.. Wow, it seems weird to me that you guys don't have beef jerky over there. I guess I've been taking for granted that our food is straight from the gods :p

    Beef jerky is made from thin strips of solid beef, seasoned and dehydrated (not at all like pepperoni). It's typically dried to between 2 and 10% of the normal moisture found in beef, so it's tough & leathery. It's very tasty though, and can be quite addictive. It's great for trail food, emergency rations, and snacky food in general.

    I actually own a dehydrator, so I could make some homemade beef jerky and trade it for some marmite, if anybody's willing. :D
