 What's up everyone? We are back with another taste test video. Today we're gonna be tasting some exotic jerky and this is gonna be really exciting cause I've tried some of these back in the day just myself. Some of these are good, but also some of these are new to me as well. Yeah, let's just get right into this. So up first is going to be venison. Pretty standard one. Not too exotic. I'm gonna see if I can open it up by just ripping it. If not, I do have scissors on standby. This was actually way easier to open this time than it was last time. Most of these are gonna be from a company called Buffalo Bobs, which specialize in exotic jerky. Some of these are gonna be from other companies as well. I think one or two other ones. So yeah, some very, very cool ones, but we're gonna start off with venison here. Do you wanna take the first bite? It actually smells pretty good, so. Oh yeah, this is peppered jerky, which I'm a huge fan of, so. It's good. That is amazing. We're gonna rate these best, worst. There's nine total. Our first one here, we're gonna rate saying it's good, obviously. Next one is gonna be a new one for me. I've had Buffalo before, but this one here is Chipotle flavor. Chipotle and garlic flavor, and it does say spicy. So we're gonna give this a try. Softer? Tender, yeah. Wow. Like better. It said it was spicy. I'm getting no spice. No. Zero. Chipotle flavor? Not really. Garlic flavor? It does taste garlicky, which I love, and I've never had this flavor before. I've had other Buffalo, but whenever I've seen this one, I wanted to give it a try. It's not spicy to me, so I'm gonna say kind of misleading. In my opinion, it's worse than the pepper to venison one. Would you agree with that? I don't know, I kind of like it. I like that it's really tender. Yeah. To me, I would say it's better. It's better? Yeah. All right, we're gonna tie it. Taupe, yeah, best fair. We're just gonna tie it for now just because I'm sure it's gonna be beat by something. Next we have Wild Boar, which I remember as being really gamey. I'm gonna say this one's an easy, I'm gonna say it's below the other two, just because it's not one that I would prefer to get, and I don't normally get barbecued flavored jerky anyways, but the barbecue flavor I did like compared to other jerky barbecue flavors, but still not a fan. So next we have Hickory Smokes Elk, which I don't think I had this exact flavor before. I had elk, way softer though. Do you think it's better than the peppered venison and the garlic buffalo one? I'm kinda leaning towards yes, myself. Yeah? Yeah. Normally Hickory, sometimes it's hit or miss. Sometimes I find Hickory flavored stuff, it's too Hickory, and then that just results in whatever it was, whether it's a chip or a jerky or whatever. It coming out gross, but this actually comes out really good. It's a nice smoky taste. I'm gonna say that's good. The next one is from a company called Indian Valley. It's from Alaska, and this is gonna be reindeer meats. Now about this company, I've tried this company before. It was sold out this time, I wanted to get it so I actually could try, and that was salmon jerky. I don't like salmon, I don't like fish, hate it, but the jerky tasted good. So unfortunately they were sold out maybe in the future, but this one's really hard to open, I won't tear. So luckily we do have scissors next to us here. All right, so I'm just gonna give it a try here. It might be a different texture. It's a different company, might be harder. Mm-hmm. Yeah? And this might be what's broke one of my teeth back in the day. Careful. Wow. I can barely chew into it. Yeah. I don't know if this has a flavor, taste plain, but you're basically tasting the reindeer. I'm gonna say it's below everything else. What do you think? Mm-hmm. Flavor-wise, the meat surprisingly tastes amazing. It's just so tough. That's not a good experience, if that makes sense, right? Yeah, yeah, the meat tastes fine, but I prefer the jerky more tender. It's not super chewy. Yeah, me too, I'm the exact same way. So now we're gonna be trying some of the more exotic flavors that some of them are the ones that worry Ashley. I absolutely love them back in the day. Hopefully I continue to, but next is gonna be alligator, which you guys can kind of see. It's not as dark as all the beef jerky or the other jerkies. So yeah, this one is Cajun style. It's gonna have a spice to it, I think that's why I absolutely loved it back in the day. Cajun flavor is amazing though. Mm-hmm. It's definitely not the last one, because that's actually pretty good, surprisingly. My mouth's on fire, like that flavor. That's what the spicy Chipotle one should have been. Yeah, it's above the, I think it's above the elk. Yeah, I think it is too. So I think, second place, maybe. So that's behind the elk. Elk was first place. Oh, okay. So you think it's second place? I honestly agree with that. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. It has a nice burn, a nice flavor, a nice texture. I will say a lot of these are softer than they were last time, which hopefully that means they're fresher. Next up is another one that I absolutely loved back in the day, and that is kangaroo. So this one here, it doesn't really say a flavor, so it might just be tasting like the kangaroo meats more. Not too tough though. No. Not like butter, like some of the others, but easy to pull apart. Wow. Yeah. Kind of makes me feel bad. Wow. Wow. That is really good. The flavor of the kangaroo, because there's no seasoning on this one, there's no flavor on it. You're just tasting the kangaroo meats as the main component. Surprisingly, it tastes really good. So I kind of want to put this first place right now, but I don't know, the elk was still really good and that was a really nice flavor, so would you tie it for second place, or would you tie it for first place? I'll let you use that. I say tie it for first. Yeah? Yeah. We do have two left. One of them is one that I've never tried before, which Shbuffalo Bobs did add, but before we do that one, which I'm really excited about, next we're gonna do ostrich. Yeah, I don't remember this one at all. There was a duck one that I wanted to try, but it was sold out. Never tried the duck one from Buffalo Bobs, so. This one is hickory smoked though, just like our first place won the elk. It smells like a weird hickory. Not the same hickory as the elk. No. Like flavor of the hickory is different. I'm gonna put it somewhere in the middle, honestly. Yeah, the middle, but I can tell that the meats, I'm not really a big fan of the meat flavor. Yeah, it's more of the flavoring that it makes it taste good. The meat itself doesn't make it taste good. I'm actually okay at putting it at last. Where would you rate it? What did we have at last again? Last is just the reindeer, because all you taste is reindeer. Right, no, I'd say it's second last. Second last, that's fair. Yeah, the reindeer, no. We do have one last one here, and this is camel. This one here, oh, this one doesn't actually have a flavor. So it's gonna be more of the camel forward, so the kangaroo one, just the kangaroo, is right now tied for first place. But the reindeer one, the Alaskan reindeer one, is last place, so this could sit anywhere. I was gonna make a joke and say it smells like sand, but. Better than the reindeer. Better than the reindeer, yeah, but. Which is last place, so I mean, doesn't say much, but. That's different. That's the first one I had to take side bite just to make sure I'd say the right thing. Yeah, maybe I should too, because it's really different, it tastes, let's see. It's a different kind of meat altogether than I've tried ever. I've never tried anything that tastes like this, like it's firm, but not tough. And the flavor surprisingly tastes good. I'm not gonna rate this first place. I'm gonna say this, to me, is third. Third, yeah. Third? Third. Yeah, I'm gonna say third, like it's good. It just doesn't be first or second place for us. Yeah, it's almost so different, but you just don't know what to say about it. Yeah, like it's so unique. Yeah, it's unique. So we have put them in order from best to worst. Worst right now is going to be this Alaskan reindeer. It would be okay if it was from the same company, but it's super, super tough, really hard to chew. And for that reason, the flavoring's a little off-putting as well, and there's no seasoning, there's no barbecue or Cajun or anything. That's why it's last place, so that one there is our worst rated one. Our third place for the best jerky is going to be Campbell, and our second place is the Cajun alligator, which is really good. And our first place, we actually have two tied for first place because both were so, so good. And that is going to be the hickory smoked elk and the kangaroo, which has no flavoring. I'm actually really surprised that something that has no flavoring we put to first place, but the meat just tastes phenomenal to me. It does, yeah. I'd recommend that, and I absolutely love that. That is by far the best one, but this one here is also first place, and it's a nice hickory smoked flavor. Either one of these, you can't go wrong, but yeah, what do you think about all of these jerkies? What is your overall thoughts on them? Did you like them? Yeah, overall, I'm surprised I went into this thinking, like, oh no, like, I'm scared. But no, overall, all of them are like, pretty good. The only one that was like, if it was the reindeer. Yeah, that one, it's also a different company, so it's a different formula of how they make the jerky, which I understand, but still. But still, even that one was like, it wasn't the worst. Yeah. The worst worst that I've probably. That we've had. It's the worst that we have for this video. This video, exactly. But it's not the worst jerky we've ever had. Yeah, for sure. So. I absolutely love these. If you guys wanna see more jerky taste tests from us or other taste tests in general, let us know down below. We definitely wanna do more stuff like this. We love jerky. We're actually thinking about experimenting and making our own jerky. And doing that, I think that would be awesome to try to do that. But comment down below what you guys think. And have you guys tried Buffalo Bobs? If not, go on Jerky Dynasty. Check them out. I live in Kansas, so shipping was a lot more for us and the conversion rates. But if you live in the U.S., it'd be obviously a lot cheaper for you. Highly recommend checking them out. It's Jerky Dynasty. Buffalo Bobs, you can get them there. It is amazing, but we're gonna leave this video here you guys enjoyed. We'll see you guys in the next one. Please take care. Peace.
