Anyone tried wild boar?

[poodicat]

If so what did you think of it?

It's pork - nothing more, nothing less - although it's a tiny bit stronger flavour - very nice!!!

[KomputerSaysNo]

Another close question is can you eat warthog and what does it taste of?

[coccinelle]

I only like wild boar when cooked in white wine as in red wine it's too strong.

It's has a coarser grain and stronger flavour ,but it's lovely
our local butcher makes wild boar sausages .

I know this is going to sound daft, but ever had really 'piggy' pork? - One that kind of leaves the kitchen smelling a bit farm-yardish? Wild boar is like that to me, a strong pork/gamey taste. I make wild boar sausages if I get a shoulder and a leg cut or belly and leg cut, It's lovely cooked in cider, and throw a few wel flavoured sweet eating apples, such as cox's in the roasting tin too, adds a nice flavour. Make an apple sauce and add a slosh of calvados to it, or casserole it with a drop of tawny pork. I find a little 'sweetness' from friut or alcohol takes off the gamey taste that puts people off. (That and the price of course!)
