Kilishi - Spicy Beef Jerky African Fresh Dried Meat Deliciously Tasty Nigerian Snack

More original than the common reddish one sold these daysHaving grown up in Kano, I was able to get kilishi in its original form as a child. This one is way closer to my childhood ones.The ones I find readily available in Nigeria these days are a far cry from the ones from my childhood.Unfortunately, most people are used to the reddish ones with specks of pepper seed showing and very thin beef underneath. Those came about during the days of austerity measures, they were a way to make kilishi cheaper. Layering connective tissue, fat, tendon, cardboard, or some other mystery meat with pepper and spices.Kilishi was never bright red with layers of stuff and little meat.This is how it was and how it always should be.

The meat is extremely dry and it's spicy but it really has a bland spicy taste. This is the 3rd type of kalishi I ordered and this is the cheapest per ounce and the worst one. I would give it a 6 out of 10 for texture but a 2 out of 10 for taste. I'll never be buying it again.

It was a lot in there. It is very thin and it was dried too much. As soon as I put in myMouth, it will melt down like a paper touching water. The taste was there. however, it is worth the money

I love the taste of it

if you're Nigerian/African and looking for actual kilishi, please do ot buy this. It is an absolute waste of money. Does not anything like kilishi

I have ordered those twice already. It tastes very good. Reasonable size for the price. Even if it would have been great if it could be a little cheaper. But I love the taste. It tastes like real kilishi not the fake ones I have tried before. I will order it again.

as a true nigerian raised in africa, when i came to usa been looking for some dishes that reminds me of home and this was not close i give whoever made this A for effort texture wise not chewy, its more like a seasoned chip, wont recommend if you looking for something close to authentic

Not a good product. Meat is way too dry and thin and the flavor isnt indictive of the photo. Looks great on paper but very poor execution.
