Dr. Bill has described this treat quite well. It is very hard to chew but there are those who like it in small quantities.
In the '70s I had a young friend who was bitten by a rattlesnake. The doctor he got had just read an article suggesting that the best thing to do for a snake bite was to leave it alone. Either he had not read the entire article or there were other mitigating (sic) circumstances, but my friend barely survived the experience. He had gotten to the stage where he was lying at death's proverbial door in the hospital, unwilling to eat hospital food. His parents, knowing his like for beef jerky brought him a tavern size jar of the disgusting little things. He devoured about two-thirds of the stuff. The protein rush combined with the flushing effect of the massive quantities of sodium (they are quite salty) and the water he had to drink to quench the thirst they inspired in him cleared his system of the buildup of toxins from the medical mishandling and dragged him kicking and screaming away from death's proverbial door.
