Isn't jerking done on tough lean cuts cut partially against the grain to ideal thickness for chewing? I ain't never had no jerky.

Sweetmeats shouldn't work because they'd just dry up and crumble. Brain, liver, and kidneys definitely would crumble. I think testes are sweetmeats, but Wikipedia is really deficient on information on ejaculation so I can't tell how much muscle development is involved in that.

Oh yeah, this game is loving hideous. Holy poo poo. Why did they try for photorealistic textures with this green-tinted palette and, you know, it being a cartoony game about rednecks?

You can jerk any meat. It doesn't mean that you should or that the product would be at all enjoyable, though.

I know you can jerk deer testes so I imagine you can do the same to any testes but it was done as a gross out gag and nobody actually tried them.

Jerking is done on lean meat because greasy meat spoils easier.

The kind of person who realizes how dangerous some dogs can be under the right circumstances? Junkyard and hunting dogs are not to be messed with. For example, I will point out that the Caucasian shepherd dog is kinda like if you mixed a really big dog with a bear.

Well, yeah some dogs are a legitimate threat and so on but it's still really hard to feel good about killing one in a video game.

Maybe I'll see about modding their graphic to something more appropriate, like a photo of Paula Deen.

I'm with Skippy. Just because dogs can be dangerous doesn't mean you feel like a badass for dealing with one.

On top of that as someone who works with dogs on a regular basis I will tell you without hesitation that the only dangerous dogs are dogs trained to be that way. That's why "junkyard and hunting dogs" in particular are not to be messed with, they're specifically taught to be aggressive. A Caucasian shepherd looks pretty impressive but it's not gonna rip peoples' faces off unless you specifically teach it to.

I hate fighting dogs in video games because they're fast and tiny and run all over the place, like the gremlin dudes in Castlevania. Usually they don't even do much damage either, they're just aggravating as all hell and that turns them into a priority target when there's often something more important around. That is as much as I care about pixels floating about my video screen.

Also dogs are total fuckers in stealth games.

I mean, I'm not saying I can't have an emotional connection with a video game character (I really want to check into Valiant Hearts), but I definitely don't with one I'm supposed to shoot.

How on earth is brain jerked? I would imagine that any type of jerked meat would need some kind of titin fibres in it to work... I could only imagine jerked brain to have the texture of really dry scrambled eggs.

Never underestimate the determination of hunters the first season they get ahold of a Ronco dehydrator. If you have ever seen that layer of grease that forms when you choose to fatty a cut to jerk? It's was pretty much just a thick layer of that protecting a sliver of undercooked brain.

None, at least not on the part of the testes. It's basically all in the pelvic floor.

All the testes do is produce hormones and little swimmers.

I'm not sure I can trust a graphic that names Minnesota, Iowa, North Carolina, and Illinois but colors in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, and the north half of Michigan.

Interesting note, though: I've heard it theorized that the reason we humans enjoy crunchy food like potato chips and Fritos is because we're supposed to be enjoying crunchy food like crickets and grasshoppers. Roasted insects are a more nutritious snack food, too.

Semi-serious, I sincerely doubt that society would be willing to switch to insect-based foodstuffs but I was indeed aware that they are in fact ecologically by far the best option. I've eaten various insect foods before including fried crickets and fried witchetty grubs which were both quite tasty and slightly upsetting to eat for reasons that I cannot entirely elucidate.

That said odds are we will simply be forced to slowly include more and more insects in our diets simply because there is no other way to feed all the human beings.

Don't worry, it'll be like veggie burgers where as long as you don't look at the packaging you won't get triggered despite it not tasting the same.

Also there are legit restaurants that make insect dishes in Vancouver so yeah, it's not infeasible to do that sort of thing if there were any public interest in making it commonplace.
