I’ve never had kangaroo before, so all I can really say is it tasted comparable to venison. The seasoning tasted great, my Dad liked it. The texture was also nice and pretty tender and moist.

Different gift for a meat lover

For over 15 years, I had a strong curiosity about what ostrich tasted like. This stemmed from my realization of why duck is all duck meat ... and confirmation that, as much as I liked duck, goose was even better. What was a bird even bigger an more athletic than a duck? An ostrich! Hence the long-term quest to satisfy that curiosity. The great thing about this package of jerky is that it's all ostrich meat. Not the typical "mostly beef w/ some ostrich thrown in" beef sticks many places offer. These proved to be good, sizeable slices of ostrich meat ... which I can now saw is actually red meat and not like duck or goose. The package's contents were fresh and moist. I suspect the reason for the slices instead of chunks of meat is to help keep it tender and pleasant to chew; having learned that the heaviest used muscles of an animal lead to the toughest meat. So, going with the slices was a smart move. The quantity of the product is greater than it might seem; possibly also due to the use of slices. But, it's not that much less than a Monster sized Slim Jim beef stick ... which is considerably larger than regular beef sticks and even some bags of regular jerks ... and the ostrich tastes a whole lot better. I did really like the seasoning ... though I would have liked to have tried a more natural flavor. Though, having found how neutral gator meat is and that it needs seasoning to taste like anything, I realize this may be a case where the seasoning used is the best way to present dried ostrich meat. In this case, I just don't have the "standard" to compare it against to know. I would consider this more of a "cool treat to reward myself" than a standard snack option. But, I was pleased with what I did get and look forward to when more becomes available.

I am currently looking specifically for old school very dry so called exotic meat jerky to include in my trail mix. I haven't found that in any of the jerky I have ordered yet, including Jerky.com.That said the Jerky.com's Original Elk jerky is very tasty. It has a slight tang to it that does not override the taste of the Elk meat at all. It is as tender as Elk meat can be, like most wild game Elk meat does tend to be a bit tougher than cattle jerky. The pieces are quite large, only one of the three packages had multiple pieces. This is the kind of jerky I would definitely enjoy eating as a snack, on an afternoon casual hike, or camping with my family, when I had a family with younger kids, and a wife who usually was not into wild game. I think even my exwife would have liked this Elk Jerky.I rated the value vs price low even though I do understand the economics of raising Elk, Deer, and Bison. These animals just do not grow as fast as out beef cattle. However, I was likely spoiled by being with a group of game hunters more than 20 years ago who traded meat for services amongst each other.In the current trend of todays jerky consumer I believe this is an outstanding product, just expect the price to be higher than beef jerky. I do recommend Jerky.Com Original Elk Jerky

THIS WAS BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. NOT TOO SWEET AND I LOVED THE PEPPER. I WILL BE PURCHASING THIS PRODUCT AGAIN.

I had kangaroo jerky when I was in Australia and it was the best jerky I've ever had. For years I've been trying to find it again. This jerky had a very bad taste to it, nothing like the authentic jerky from "down under". It was possible the jerky I received had gone bad, but it was inedible, very disappointing.

My hubby has alpha gal syndrome (stupid ticks!). This was a great alternative for him.

I ordered it because I wanted to try kangaroo. I thought the taste might be unique, but it really wasn’t. It tastes good, it’s high quality, but if you set it on a plate with other types of jerkies, I’m not sure I could taste a difference. ,
