{"product_id":"bbq-wild-boar-stick","title":"BBQ Wild Boar Stick","description":"\u003cp\u003eRicher than pork, sweeter than beef, and the only meat we sell that does some good by being eaten. One ounce, individually wrapped, shelf-stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat wild boar tastes like\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePork with the volume turned up. Deeper, slightly nuttier, with more character than anything from a commercial hog operation. It carries enough fat to stay rich without going greasy, which is why BBQ works so well on it — the sweetness has something to hold onto.\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\u003eStick or flat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are chopped and formed from the same meat. The stick is round and cased, easy to break and eat one-handed — the one for a truck console or a pack. Our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/wild-boar-jerky-bbq\"\u003ewild boar flat\u003c\/a\u003e is a wider strip with more surface for the smoke, and a longer eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone who likes a BBQ pork stick.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is that, with considerably more behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeople who care where their meat comes from.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the easiest answer we have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexans.\u003c\/strong\u003e You already know about the hogs.\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. No MSG. No fillers.
