I got mine in America and to be honest I couldn't believe we were supposed to eat it. Reminds me of the begging strips I buy for my dog and smells the same.

Is it a bit like biltong (think that's how you spell it) that you get in South Africa?  It's dried antelope or something - disgusting!

Weird in a different way - that's my diplomatic answer!


Only joking SillyYank; I just find it amusing how many Americans say English food is bland and then eat stuff like this, or Texan food with pork deep fried in syrup etc. I'll stick to bland thanks!

Well, there would be a lot of strong flavours in something like pork deep fried in syrup (if there is such a thing!), but I would prefer something 'blander', myself! 


I used to eat beef jerky before I went veggie and liked it, it's just like pepperami sticks - unless you go for the heavy duty style of beef jerky, which I didn't enjoy so much.


I wouldn't say all English food is bland, it's just different.

I see the title of the post and think of Apu asking Homer if that is what he wants.


I must watch that program too much.

I'd forgotten about Pepperami; I suppose they are pretty similar. I'm a veggie too so have never sampled either, thankfully!

I have never eaten pepperami, but i like pepperoni.

I used to love pepperami but no more not since that documentary about the donkey meat going into salami.

I tend to eat slices/joints of meat. Like chicken breat etc. Not a fan of things like burgers and nuggets. Though I do like sausages.

TRouble is you can spend your whole life wondering what pre processed meat is. You can only 100% tell what it is if you have killed it yourself.

I won't eat farmed salmon after seeing a programme about the conditions they're kept in and what they're fed on.
