OSTRIM

OS Trim Ostrich Snack!

Gas stations remind me of two things, the lovely (albeit, super unhealthy) aroma of gasoline and slim jims they always sell at the food mart. Slim Jims, contrary to the name, are not healthy at all and dont do you much good if you want to be "slim". But i spotted these high protein Ostrich sticks out of all places, a frozen yogurt shop! OS Trim resmebles a slim jim in the look but its made with ostrich and beef. Ive had Ostrich before and its actually really good and a nice lean meat, so i was very curious about this dried version. Each stick80 calories per stick with 14 g of protien, 1.5 g fat, 300mg and no sugar. Less soduim and fat than slim jims. I dont like slim jim and i wasn't head over heals for this. The taste was nice, but i found the mushy filling in the casing a little too much to handle so didn't really want to finish it (my dog was very happy to though). I would have like this in a jerky that has a more consitent texture, but this was like a stale hot dog. If you like slim jim, i think this is a great alternative, but i am just not a dried meat stick type of gal. I do feel bad for the poor Ostrich, they are a very economical animal since one of their eggs equals about 8 real eggs. But then again, they can be very anti-social, nothing says "leave me alone" like sticking your head into the ground...
