So.. is there something that's like a Slim Jim snack except good?

As it turns out, I really like those cheap disgusting dried sausage-like snacks called Slim Jims, especially the spicy ones.

What's like that, except made out of food?

I'm thinking I should maybe be looking for landjäger or something like that, or other hunters' sausage?

Interesting. looking at the site, these are essentially hot dogs, but made thinner and drier (really!), and then smoked. If you look at the texture of the cut ends you will it is an emulsified, extruded product. Nothing wrong with that, but it won't have the "bite" that Ian is looking for

Like I said, they're delicious. But they are a meat paste. They're just a delicious meat paste made with actual meat.
