Note: For a live taste review on an updated ingredient list, open up Blackbeard’s – Teriyaki Beef Jerky (Review #2).
In my travels, when looking for new jerky to purchase, I find New Jersey a frustrating state to find new jerky. It is not as if I have scoured the entire state, jerky just does not seem to be popular in some areas. Much to my delight in 2010, I found Ramapo Ridge jerky for sale at a convenience store in Read More
Note January 2015: For a recent, live taste review, open this Wild Bill’s Hickory Smoked Review #2.

In 2010, I bought this barbecue flavored bag of Blackbeard’s beef jerky at a convenience store just off I380 in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania. It is a fairly common sight to see Blackbeard’s jerky for sale in Pennsylvania. For whatever reason, I have only seen the 1.5 ounce/42 grams for sale in stores, but they do sell their jerky in larger bags.

This review is for duck magret, made by La Maison Du Gibier Inc. Magret means the cut of meat is from a breast of duck. La Maison Du Gibier translated to English means “The House of Game”. They are located in Charlesbourg, near Quebec City, Quebec, Canada.
