In North America, Indians made dried meat, an experience that was later adopted by cowboys, which is how the famous American dried beef jerky came to be. In China, you could choose between very dry and sweet "rugan" and more juicy and less sweet "shafu". Muslim countries made pastirma, a salted raw beef with a special garlic sauce that could prevent mold. And in Europe, particularly in Switzerland, was very famous cheesecake "bundner", which was made from the meat of young bulls. So already in ancient times snacks were dried and dried, salty, spicy or even sweet, with different texture and consistency. But we live in the XXI century, you will say.
