Nothing Says “Bromance” Like a Beef Jerky Broquet for Valentine’s Day

A wise engineer once said, “What does one dude get another dude who is in the hospital without it being awkward?”

A bouquet of flowers seems a bit strange and a gift card would definitely be a lazy, thoughtless gift. If you find yourself in a bind and need a present for your best bro’s special occasion, Say It With Beef has the perfect thing for your carnivorous friends: a “broquet” made with 100-percent beef jerky

There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging a little bromance every now and then, especially when beef jerky is involved. With Valentine’s Day just a few weeks away, why not use the holiday as an excuse to throw some brotherly love your buddy’s way?

The Broquet is an edible “floral” arrangement made entirely of high-quality beef jerky. I picked up a couple of these broquets for my friend slast year, and they were a huge hit — so much that a buddy even returned the favor on my birthday a couple of weeks later. It has now become somewhat of a tradition.

Say It With Beef offers two different, delicious broquets —  roses and daisies — that have changed the guy gift-giving game. Each assortment is intricately designed to resemble a flower, but instead of pollen, this broquet will be blooming with whatever flavor option you choose: original, teriyaki, peppered, or mixed. For the base, you can choose from a pint glass or a beer mug. You know, just to put some more manly touches on your gift.

Each broquet costs $69 for a half-pound of the finest, meaty flora that can be sent anywhere in the U.S. And, if you’re looking for a more romantic Valentine’s gift for your man, a beef jerky broquet might will fit the bill. After all, the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach … or something.

Every new Game of Thrones spinoff explained
George R.R. Martin's television world continues to grow
Matt Smith starring in House of the Dragon

When it first aired on HBO in the early 2010s, Game of Thrones dazzled audiences with revolutionary special effects and terrific acting in a unique fantasy world. Based on author George R.R. Martin's series of novels, the universe depicts the battles between several different noble families as they try to climb to the top of the continent of Westeros, both politically and figuratively. The war scenes, family drama, and massive number of characters helped make the story feel fresh and new every time a new episode aired.

As Martin's attention shifted to television and away from his books, fans have looked to the TV series to finish some of the stories he couldn't finish on the page. Game of Thrones left fans wanting more, despite its poorly received finale, and a plethora of spinoffs are on the way. House of the Dragon already has two seasons completed, and there are several others in the coming years to look forward to.
House of the Dragon
House of the Dragon finished its second season in 2024. The show chronicles the heated family dynamics of the Targaryen empire almost two centuries before the events of Game of Thrones. The third season should pick up the civil war between Queen Rhaenyra's forces and King Aegon's after a slow-building conflict throughout the second act.
