The pig walking ok?




We had one of the more interesting meals served in our house ever! Our neighbor Mike who lives in the log cabin headed down for a break in Florida a month back. On his way home he found an operation that allows you to hunt down wild boars in South Carolina. So he speared a boar and brought us home a leg and a roast. Funny for the family that doesn't really eat much meat. Jon being an ex-vegetarian will eat some chicken, turkey, fish and venison from the farm...But wild boar will be new to both of us. I found a recipe on Epicurious.com and it seemed well suited for the boar leg. After a week of marinating it was time to cook and eat. We were wishing that Jon's dad was around to help carve/cut the leg (he always does so with the turkey at Thanksgiving), but I did my best. Wild boars seems to be a bit "chewy", which gave Jon a hard time. Chapin on the other hand "really likes pig!" He kept asking for "more pig please!" Then he threw out "is the pig walking ok?" Hilarious. So little life lesson learned on all behalf's...Jon no likey wild boar, Turi ok with it just doesn't like to cook and cut it, Chapin "really likes pig meat" and wants more everyday! And the dogs next door really like the wild boar leg bone!
