Mitch,

I ended up buying a small bag of Oberto original. The little jerky in the
bag there was were all different sizes and different chewiness. Not good
jerky. And there was a small packet of something (desiccant?) in the bottom
of the bag I almost ate.

I'll try a bag of Pemmican next time around.

Thanks,

Andy
