Armour Star, the company that makes Armour hot dogs, also makes canned pork brains. The front of the label has a photo of pork brains prepared in milk gravy, and on the side of the can, Armour suggests a “delicious” recipe for eggs ’n’ brains.

Tired of tuna fish? Try some Cajun Style Alligator. The Native Game Company offers a variety of meats that you won’t find on the shelves of your local grocery store (available only through mail order). Pick up a can of Smoked Rattlesnake, Elk, or Buffalo Au Jus, for a wild all-natural taste. Some other meat to order: emu, turtle, and kangaroo.
