Few things are more manly than beef jerky. It's a great source of protein and doesn't need to be refrigerated, therefore making it the perect food to be eaten in the wild. Yeah sure, you say, beef jerky been there done that. Except that all of the following jerky have nothing to do with beef. In honor of man month, we've compiled a list of exotic jerkies that every man should try at least once. At least it'll give you something to talk about at poker night.
These little jerky medallions are made from Buffalo meat and cleverly named BuffalOs. Aw. They look like pepperoni but add to your pizza at your own risk.
Fish jerky huh? The whole concept seems a little strange. Is it chewy? Chewy fish?
Tastes like chicken.*
*The author of this post has never actually eaten ostrich jerky or ostrich meat for that matter. The declaration that it tastes like chicken is completely hypothetical. But we're pretty damn sure it'd taste like chicken.
If you don't hunt simply ring a triangle and the deer come running to you. Or at least that's what the packaging would have you believe.
Why not spice it up a bit? If you dug the turkey nuggets, kick it up a notch with this stuff. Mmm.
Okay. Elk is understandable (see Venison Jerky above) given the sheer size of the animal it's economical to jerk-i-fy some meat so it keeps longer. But Alligator jerky? Are the po folks down in Louie-zee-ayna so hard up they're resorting to eating alligators? What do they do with the stones they find in the alligator's stomach? Tie string around it and fish for more alligator?
Ah yes the variety pack, not just for beer anymore. Enjoy a small sample of some of the wild kingdom's heavy hitters. Now you're truly a man.
Must be some damn big fish to create these hunks of shriveled dry fish meat.
For sure the baddest of the jerkies. You've seen the video's of giant kangaroo's knocking out other animals. Much respect to the kangaroo cowboys of Australia who actually hunt this mo fo's.
