Bacon Jerky from Freshers Foods
I was asked to review Freshers Foods new snack product 'Bacon Jerky'.
Freshers Foods are an innovative snack food manufacturer specialising in meat snacks such as traditional pork scratchings, crunch and crackling.
They recently
innovated and launched a brand new product to the market - Freshers Bacon Jerky.
It's a ready to eat meat snack that is made from 100% sweet cured
marinated bacon pieces and is available in Original and BBQ
flavour.
Each original flavour pack contains

If you are watching your calorie intake the BBQ flavour is a little better for you

So what do they taste like?
This review has been a little difficult for me as I like to be truthfully honest, I understand that everyone has different tastes and prefer different products, flavours and textures so you may rate these snacks differently to me and my family
Basically we thought they tasted like dog treats. The texture is thick and stringy, so chewy that it goes into tiny pieces of hard bacon in your mouth and ends up difficult to swallow. I asked a range of people to try each flavour: my husband, my daughter and her friends at school, finally my Dad who was brought up eating strange snacks and dry cured products.
All who tasted decided that they didn't like them or that the product wasn't for them.
To save wasting them .. we fed them to our dog Ruby who smacked her lips in delight and polished off the rest of the packet!
