Carnivore Club, who sent me this box to review, is the exclusive meat of the month club for discerning individuals! Every month members of the Carnivore Club will receive 4 to 6 different selections of cured and smoked meats, charcuterie and jerky from across the planet.
Carnivore Club ships via USPS Priority Mail. Unlike last month, this month did contain perishable items, so the box had cold packs and came in a padded bubble wrap envelope instead of just the box that it came in last month.
I was seriously going to wait to open this, but B saw it on the counter last week and demanded we open it at once. I didn’t realize at first that it contained perishable items, so it’s a good thing he made us open them! They never would have lasted another day.
The December Carnivore Club featured meats from Indianapolis’ own Smoking Goose Meatery. Each “concoction begins with healthy livestock raised on independent farms in the Midwest. Smoking Goose also goes the extra mile and uses fruit wood salvaged at local orchards for their smokers. Here are this month’s selections:
~Smoking Goose Meatery All Natural Soppressata: I think I have mentioned it on here, but although I never really knew what kind of animal salami was made from, I really like it. This is pork salami and is “flecked with ground clove, ginger and nutmeg”. It’s delicious too.
~Smoking Goose Meatery Dodge City Salami: We haven’t tried this one yet, only because I think we are both scared by the looks of it. Well, at least I am. It has fennel pollen in it and is studded with pink peppercorns. Interesting.
~Smoking Goose Meatery Delaware Fireball Salami: Not super super spicy, but it’s certainly got a kick to it! It’s one of the Smoking Goode’s first unique creations and it gets it’s name from the street where the eatery’s butcher shop is located.
~Smoking Goose Meatery Guanciale Pork Jowl: This one has also not been sampled yet, but is another one that kind of scares me. Once it’s cooked though, I am sure it will be just fine and not scary at all. They suggest using it in place of bacon on a BLT (making it a GLT).
~Smoking Goose Meatery Elk Terrine: I can’t find this on their website, but it’s described as being spiked with peppercorns and is from elk raised at a local farm.
I couldn’t do a cost breakdown on this box because I couldn’t find anything from this meatery available for sale online anywhere! I love this box for B and think it’s be a great gift for the meat lover in your life. B laughed at me when I told him this, but this box reminds me of Ron Swanson from Parks & Rec. I think he’d really like a box like this. LOL!
What do you think of Carnivore Club? B loved it and it might be something we need to add to our monthly box rotation! At least every once in a while! Carnivore Club is $50/month, but you can use the code “ramble10” to save $10 off your first month! Click here if you want to order or just check them out.
