meat sticks
Chewy snack strips
Meat sticks are dried or cured meat snacks in stick form—essentially portable, shelf-stable protein.
Beef jerky sticks, pepperoni sticks, and slim jims fall into this category.
The format makes them convenient for road trips, hiking, or quick snacks: I grabbed some meat sticks from the gas station.
The term is informal and slightly playful.
