{"product_id":"wild-boar-jerky-bbq-style","title":"Wild Boar Jerky — BBQ Style","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe flat version, and the one to buy if you want to actually sit with it. Wild boar has more going on than pork, and this is the format that gives you time to notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy BBQ suits wild boar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoar carries more fat than most wild game, which changes what seasoning can do. Sweetness needs fat to work — on a lean meat like elk or antelope, a BBQ glaze sits on top and slides off. Here it soaks in and becomes part of the flavor rather than a coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is closer to good barbecue than to jerky with barbecue seasoning on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe invasive species you can eat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeral swine are one of the most destructive invasive species in the United States. They root up cropland, foul water sources, outcompete native wildlife, and cause damage measured in the billions of dollars a year. Texas has more of them than any other state — several million, by most estimates — and no realistic prospect of eliminating them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhich makes this the rare case where eating an animal is the environmentally useful choice. Every wild boar that becomes food is one that isn't tearing up a field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe flat one\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChopped and formed into a flat strip rather than a round casing. More surface for the smoke and the BBQ to work on, and a slower eat than a stick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone who finds most jerky too lean.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the rich one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBBQ people.\u003c\/strong\u003e Closer to what you actually want than most BBQ jerky manages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeople who ask where things come from.\u003c\/strong\u003e This one has a good answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it's blended\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike every wild game meat we carry, this is blended with other meats. There's a regulatory reason as well as a practical one — feral swine aren't covered by mandatory USDA inspection the way farmed pork and beef are, so blending is what brings the whole product under the federal stamp. The blend is what makes it good and what makes it inspected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it's made\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHardwood smoked in small batches at Zick's Specialty Meats in Michigan, a family smokehouse running the same recipes for over forty years.
