Wild Boar On The Menu

Popped out last night,only for a couple of drinks and went to our usual country pub,really nice it is,proper oak beams,nice open fire going,etc...

Anyway I looked at the specials they had on the menu board, and I was suprized to see Wild Boar on there, I immediately thought about dogsey and the discussions of late

Apparently it is a really lovely meat.......
So anyone tried it ?

It's delicious, really full of flavour. I had a steak in a pub once and it was very tough which is because of the way it was cooked. I remember my jaws were still aching the next day. But had it been cooked properly then it would have been superb.

its luurrrvely

Yup, we have it quite often!

There is a place near the Trough of Bowland that produces it.... they have a sort of farm, where the wild boar have acres of forest, but are taken for their meat as well.

Tis lovely stuff - it makes fab sausages and is lovely when slow cooked

Yes it's delicious, quite a rich meat, and does make lovely sausages and burgers, just anything really yummm

Had it often ... As sausages ...

Yep, i've had it!
There is a pub not far from me that serves it as one of their 'normal' dishes - along with kangarooo and a few other 'different' meats!

Thanks for the replies

I will try it next time we go for a meal.

I had it in Claridges as a main course and it was fab! Can highly recommend it

We have wild boar around here, the forresters have built 'watch towers' where they can see them as night approaches (and shoot them), they do a lot of damage to crops especially sweet corn.

We have also been told that a wild female boar with young will attack and kill dogs and my wife was told to keep ours away from certain areas when they have their young around.
