It's Thursday! And on this particular Thursday you shall get another non-chip review! Aw yeah! Bacon. I know. Bacon. I was at 7/11, a surprisingly good place to find strange chips and/or snack products, and saw these in the beef jerky section. There was no way I was leaving the store without these. And now they are mine!
Wild Bill himself looks a bit odd, but I have high hopes for his bacon jerky. Also, it's 'bodacious' apparently. And why wouldn't it be? Bacon. Aw yeah. At first glace this is actually kinda promising. It smells super bacon-y and it looks like thick cut bacon. The color is a little off, but I'm assuming that's because it's jerky.
But what does it taste like?
Saltier than regular bacon (if that's possible). Super salty. That's actually what I taste more than anything. The bacon taste is secondary to the extreme saltines. And I like salt - don't get me wrong. But this might actually be too salty, even for me. You kinda have to look for the bacon taste under the salt. Still, it must be said - it does taste like bacon. They actually do a really solid job with the taste (under the salt). It's also a little disconcerting how old it seems.
I know it's jerky and it can last, but I can't quite shake the feeling that I'm just eating old bacon. You'll also never confuse this with actual bacon. Something critical is missing - these just look kinda lonely and weird. I don't think it's something that's fixable necessarily, but if you're expecting these to be exactly like bacon... well... they aren't. These are so salty I actually think I won't be finishing them. It's just too much.
Would I get these again? No, I probably wouldn't. I know, I'm shocked too. But it's just too salty to really be appealing. I like salt and I like bacon, but too much salt can ruin anything. As long as you're prepared for how salty it is... if you want some bacon
without actually doing any work you could do worse than this. Also, they somehow gets less appealing as time goes by.
