With Canadian Thanksgiving right around the corner and the American holiday following shortly after, lots of people are already daydreaming about meats for Thanksgiving. While many health-conscious people are cutting out animal protein all-together, Trend Hunter Research Advisor and Senior Editor Armida Ascano considers herself an advocate for carnivore pride. Her top meats for Thanksgiving range from carnivorous ice cream to meat-filled subscription boxes.
Salted caramel turkey ice cream is not only perfect for the holiday season, but also for experimenting with flavors any time of the year. Another meaty dessert is a pulled pork cupcake that mixes sweet and savory elements as well. If you love meat but don't want to venture outside to get your artisanal picks, the Carnivore Club sends monthly packages organized by theme. On the other hand, Arby's new secret menu option is definitely worth braving the cold for.
