Drying and preserving meat until it's a dry, leathery strip of spicy goodness is hardly an American innovation, but there's no denying that we're good at turning wild animals into handy, portable food. In Florida, the market for weird jerky belongs to Alligator Bob, whose line of hardwood-smoked "premium meat snacks" includes ostrich, venison, buffalo, and of course, gator jerkies. Available at gift shops, tourist spots, and convenience stores statewide. Or, order online before you hit the road.
