  1. I would like to know if in Us there are wild boars; if you eat them and how
    you cook.
    In nothern Italy we use boar stew, cooked in red wine. With grilled polenta
    is wonderful! With The sauce of the meat we season pasta (Fettuccine,
    ravioli, pappardelle, etc).
    Cheers

    In my best Bubba voice (Forrest Gump)............wild boar kabobs, wild boar
    and shrimp, wild boar grilled, wild boar cooked, breaded wild boar, deep
    fried wild boar, marinated wild boar, sun dried wild boar, zesty wild
    boar.................................. :-)

    Yes, there are wild boar in the US but it is something not normally on the
    menu.

    I would imagine it tastes like pork but gamey.....is that correct?

    Yes, there are both feral (domestic) wild pigs and true wild boars known
    as "Javalina". I know they are around here but I've never tried it. :-)

    I had it once at a local restaurant, Po, in a sauce for pappardelle.
    But it's not very common.

    Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself!

  9. Here in South Louisiana there is an area called Honey Island Swamp. It is
    very aptly named and consists of a very large area. It is over populated
    with feral hogs. Each fall some very large boars are taken by hunters. They
    taste very gamey, but,if cooked right, can be very tasty.

    It's a matter of paying the hunting leases. :-)
    All the land in Texas is privately owned! There really is no place to
    hunt without paying those hunting lease fees and that can be VERY
    expensive!

    Gamey. Hmmmmmm... hard to describe but older wild animals, even deer,
    tend to have a "wild game" taste that is unique. Some people don't like
    it, but specific marinading techniques can control it somewhat.

    That's pretty important.

    Proper marinating can also take care of that somewhat I'm told?

    Folks tell me that one is almost never hungry enough to eat javalina.
    They taste that bad.

    Here in northeast Texas feral hogs are common enough to be a problem.
    They are hunted for their meat and to reduce their population. They
    can really mess up one's corn crop or pasture land fast. While most
    hunters kill them in the field, some take them alive so they can be
    butchered according to health department code for the upscale
    restaurant trade in Dallas. The latter hunters share some
    characteristics in common with Bat Man. And I don't mean their
    fabulous wealth. A wild hog is capable of eating a hunter.

    I don't like very much turkey's meat (I eat only grilled slices of breast);
    BTW we haven't wild turkey, here.
    Yes. The wild bear has a very hard taste of gamey.
    But we kill this taste with a particular system of cooking called "Civet" or
    Civè (a french word which means cook in the wine.). We let the meat in the
    wine for about a night, than change the wine and let other 12 hours in new
    wine with spicy, onions, carrots, celery and a potato (potatos thicken the
    sauce). In this way we also cook chamois, deers, roes.
    Once upon a time an highlander gave me a secret: "put in the first and in
    the second wine a piece of chocolate, the gamey tast will go away). I tried
    and I must say that he said the truth!

    I was coming home once after a gambling trip to Cherokee and was just a
    mile or two outside of town. We saw something on the lefthand side of
    the road grazing and snuffling along and thought from a distance it was
    a dog. As we got close to it we saw it was a wild boar and we didn't
    slow down one bit!! No pulling off the side of the road that day to
    make pictures!
