The shredded meat was just like the jerky “snuff” my grandson likes. Pretty tasty actually. The pemmican was pretty good too. I used processed suet, not homemade. What fresh Hell is this?

I grab a bag of this pretty regular- https://stryve.com/products/original-sliced-beef-biltong They leave some of the fat on.
