I have 3 pounds of wild pig bacon (not so great but still bacon), 12 pounds of bacon ends and pieces, 2 wild fore quarters, a monster ham and 4 huge tenderloins in my freezer.
It'll be gone in 3 weeks........
Fuck Obama AND Mohammed.....
I have a question, well maybe several. Does the wild pig taste so much different from what I know as Porky? We don't have those brutes up here. If they were smoked, cured and/or cooked like the others??? would they not taste the same? I don't mean to sound ignorant but if them big buggers were running wild around here, they would be in my freezer.
Taste of the wild porker depends on what he's been foraging on, plus wild pigs tend to be a lot leaner than domestic pigs. The hams, shanks and tenderloins (backstrap) are tasty, but the bacon doesn't have that good fatty flavor. Give it a few years and you'll have them up there too. They breed like catholics.......
Thanks Wirecutter. It's like moose if it's too lean. We have to add PORK or beef fat to the mix sometimes so it's not so tough or cook at low, low temps.
I'm think you are leaving some people out...
ReplyDeleteMmmm bacon.
