Trader Joe's Turkey Jerky is for Traitors, Turkeys and Jerks

This post falls into the category of things I've had to eat while traveling. Featured above is Trader Joe's house brand of turkey jerky. Despite it's pleasant rhyme scheme, you shouldn't eat it.

As a child I was always surprised that, in addition to bears and worms, there were gummy Coke bottles. Now, Trader Joe's has created a jerky with that same nearly indigestible consistency and cloying sweetness.

As I've said before, the best jerky in the world is clearly carne seca, or "dried meat," available at fine gas station food marts throughout the Southwest. In comparison, T.J.'s stuff is worse than Benjamin Franklin's vote to make the turkey the national bird.

Still, their Sherry is remarkably affordable.
