@PocketBrain I like to dehydrate my own pineapple. It’s awesome but lots of work. When I do it, I usually buy around 20 pineapples at one time. Once dehydrated, they last a long time without spoiling but I eat them quickly anyway.
@ironcheftoni my mother who was from Switzerland introduced me to that when I was a kid and we were traveling there. Of course it would come from the local butcher, and people had been making it there for hundreds of years.
@yakkoTDI it is indeed! One of the dfw butcher shops is owned by a German family. Half the building is a meat market and small grocery. The other half is a restaurant.
Good smoked brisket bought by the pound and kept in my freezer; packaged in bite-sized chunks.
Much cheaper and tastier than these pre-fab cholesterol sticks.
I wanted to tell a joke about meat . . . but I was afraid that I’d butcher it. I guess the steaks were just too high and I was too much of a chicken. So I tried to move Beyond Meat jokes but found that to be Impossible.
I no longer eat these, although I did at some point in the past. I’m not a vegetarian, I just don’t like the taste or the feel in my mouth. And, unless they have changed, I suspect they are not healthy, although that alone does not usually stop me.
I prefer sliced meat snacks, rather than the compressed meat ones.
That said, I think store bought stuff, I like the Bucc-ees Bohemian Garlic beef jerky best
My actual favorite is fresh real authentic Mexican-style chicharrones, which are NOT dessicated exploded pork skins. Real chicharrones are cubes of beef or pork fat (preferably beef) fried down until they have a slightly crisp outer shell around a soft and succulent center. Seasoned with just a bit of salt or just plain, they’re amazing. (My partner uses the trimmed slabs of fat from a brisket to make them, and they seldom last long enough for me to get a second plate.)
Vegetarian here.

So… fruit leather?
Fruit by the Foot, Roll-Ups, Fruitful, Jorays, etc?

I love dehydrated pineapple! Hard to find without sugar added though.
Landjaeger or Hunter’s sausage from a local butcher. It’s was the inspiration for slim Jim’s

I don’t snack on meat.
If I had to pick a meat as a snack, I’d definitely just eat a bunch of bacon.
@LaserEyes Hmm. Is it time to break out the “bacon cleanse” joke again?

None!
Hickory Farms sausage or salami

We buy Stone Ridge pit smoked salami every year during the holidays. The dmeat sticks aren’t bad either.

I’m stick form, Think is pretty good to me; it’s very lean and doesn’t grease up over time.
Meat snacks in general, I miss HTY who used fruit preservative marinate to tenderize their meats. And meat floss. And fish jerky.
@blaineg that would be a fun book. Though they didn’t invent it; apparently truckers have been doing this for decades.
