I recall this chick, during her time on 7th Heaven, claiming to be German and "Native American" (she even specified "Choctaw"). I could never pin down the "mystery meat" aspect.
Uh...

The only thing Jessica Biel had heard about her father’s side of the family was that they were from Germany. Upon investigating her roots for the TLC genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are?, she discovered that wasn’t the case and got a much bigger surprise: Biel’s great-great-grandparents Morris and Ottilia Biel were from Austria-Hungary and Jewish. They came to America in 1889 and settled in Chicago.
“I never heard any of this before. I’m really surprised,” Biel says in the episode airing April 2. “I can’t wait to share this with my dad.” The actress, who also seeks to verify family lore from her Christian maternal side, admits that she’s “never had any sort of religious community at all,” and now says she’s “going to learn a lot more about the Hungarian Jews. I’m really interested in diving into Jewish culture a little bit more.”

Articles about Jessica state that she has Choctaw Native American ancestry, and a Vogue article specifically stated that Jessica’s mother has Native American ancestry. It is not clear if this Choctaw Native American ancestry has been documented and/or verified. No Choctaw Native American ancestry appears in publicly available family trees of Jessica Biel.
