Abstract: A drinking straw and a method of manufacturing a drinking straw. The drinking straw is made from any type of protein. Meat slices are placed in a freezer and the slightly frozen and pressed meat slices are then rolled lengthwise onto greased rods. The meat covered rods are again rolled on a flat surface. The meat covered rods are spaced apart and placed in a marinade. After the meat covered rods soak in the marinate, the meat covered rods are removed and placed on a rack, where the rods are spaced apart. The rack is placed into a 350° F. oven to bring the meat temperature up to 350° F., then the oven temperature is reduced to 165° F. The meat covered rods on the rack is dehydrated for four to five hours. After the dehydrating time has elapsed, the meat drinking straws is removed from the rods.
