Back about 5 years ago I worked in a pet store and they had these awesome dried chicken breasts for dog treats. The label said "Human grade chicken" so I didn't see a problem with eating them. They were like really, really, dry chicken jerky and I loved them. (ETA they were called "chicken tenders".)

The other employees thought I was completely nuts.

Now I work next door to a pet shop and they have a very similar product and I am really tempted to go buy some. LOL

I used to live in a heavily Hispanic neighborhood in Chicago, and elote, the corn on the cob with butter, mayo, cojita anejo cheese, lime, and chili powder sold by street vendors, was super popular. Loved it.

A lot of our parents sub in a soy spread ("soynut butter"), or sunflower butter. I've tasted both, and find the soy gross, and the sunflower seed spread fairly decent. Neither is gonna be winning any peanut butter taste-alike contests, but the one made with sunflower seeds is at least palatable.

Exactly!
Thats common in parts & throughout California, however where I live now, theres no "Elote man" to be found
But when I visit family or hang out in LA after work, I get my quick fix.

They also have a Corn Festival in one of the cities nearby where I grew up, they'll have a huge stand for Roasted Corn, and off to the side, they'll have the fixins....including mayonaise, chili pepper (and sometimes lemon or limes - or lime salt), people would see me and my daughter fixing ours and either thought we were nuts or asked questions about it & gave it a try. I was surprised there were alot more folks that were into it, while others, including a good friend were errrked by it...
well Glad you like

HAHAHAHA!!!

I always have at least one bag of chicken jerky tenders on-hand for Artie. I, too, have read on the package that the only ingredient is... chicken.

I haven't dared to try one yet (although they DO smell delicious) but I always have this thought in the back of my mind: In the worst storm, if we run out of food, we can share dog treats.
