I like dried mangos. And dried banana in the form of chips. Raisins are good. Can't say I have tried dried kiwi.

Edit: It sounds like a lot of trouble just form reading the posts... but it's really not. But like I said earlier, it isn't for everybody... and I enjoy it.

Sounds good. How does the jerky turn out?

I actually like the cheaper fruits like banana and apple chips.

Jerky turns out great. It's a lot different than anything you've probably had, b/c all the store jerkies have weird artificial flavorings....

It's odd the first time you have it. Kinda melts in your mouth, even though it's steak.

A lot of the taste depends on the recipe you get and the quality of steak you buy, but mine is always good.

I would make my own beef jerky in high school and eat it during lunch sometimes. Everyone seemed impressed about the idea, but the mood soon turned sour when I wouldn't share it with anyone. My girlfriend first suspected I had a crush on her when she was the first I ever shared with.

That sounds strangely delicious. I may have to look into this...
