I newer acquired the taste for Creton. Its closely related to Tortiere, pork pie. The traditional recipes tend to be very high fat content (very similiar to Pemmican), for many folks unaccustomed to the taste, it tends to taste like lard. I suspect either one is not recomended for those with high LDL

My MIL used to make creton. I think it involves long slow cooking of the cut of pork known as a boston butt. I think allspice is one of the spices in it.

I don't know how good that recipe is vs Puck's, but what cracks me up is that it actually calls for lean pork !

AT $30 for 12 ounces of this stuff, I think I'll just try soaking my regular beef jerky in my thermos full of coffee. I will name this new invention "Dunkajerky".

Great line from Slingblade when Billy Bob opens a can of Potted Meat:
"It's a might bit loud, hmmm".

LOL - When I clicked on the link it brought up a page with the creton recipes (Quebec Potted Pork) in a frame on the right, and on the left...
..an advertisement promising a method to reduce belly fat.

Ahhhh yes, tortiere.........my Mom used to make what we called "meat pies" years ago. My younger brother just made one at Xmas with some moose meat thrown in. It was pretty good.
Not exactly what most people would call "Health food". Although it did "Enhance" certain bodily functions. But it's probably low in carbs!
Meat- it's what's for breakfast!

Perky jerky review
Just got my shipment of PERKY JERKY!!!!
I gotta say that it is very good tasting, slightly sweet with just a little bit of spicy bite to it. It is a soft jerky and not at all like shoe leather As a matter of fact it was so good tasting I ate a whole bag of it despite my best efforts not too. Does it really give you a needed boost? It is too early to tell, but if I am still posting after midnight we will know
Either way it is good tasting ! I like it! Gonna be tough to save the rest to use just for hiking.
Just ordered some

I just had another natural performace enhanced snack. Peanuts in the shell with a fresh cup of coffee.
Keeps me regular too.

Chip,
Did well.
Felt a noticeable caffeine "buzzyness" is buzzyness a word?......I did get a good little pick me up and unlike the caffeine power shots, they will not freeze and explode in your pack, leaving a sticky mess if you forget to take them out of you goody pocket.(discovered I left one in my day pack that I keep in the trunk of my car this morning )All in all good flavor and as advertised, Perky Jerky does give you a boost.
Good stuff.

More than coffee or caffein pills?

about the same boost I get from drinking one of those awful tasting 2 oz "power shots" or " energy Shots" in the supplied literature I received it states 120mg of caffeine per oz of jerky....I believe that is equal to a large coffee
I ordered the 2 oz packages of jerky ...So two large coffees per dose. Not bad

Is it worth the extra cost or is it just a fun novelty.

Not much more money than regular beef jerky, plus you get a little boost....If you regularly pack beef jerky and a power drink the cost of ''Perky Jerky'' is less money. I will probably buy it again after I run out. ...... Going to Katahdin for a week in February considering buying some more for that trip.
