Maybe "wild boar" refers to the type of pig, whether it lives on a farm or in a forest. Whatever, sanglier as it is called in french, is fucking delicious.

Wow, your concoction?

We ran this at a restaurant I was Sous at for 3 months in early '06. 'Tis very tasty. I could probably come up with a base recipe for you if you'd like, though it would take a few days.


Of course, you'de have to eat it with cabbage and apples braised in chicken stock.


(A confession...... I literally cook some kind of cut of pork, with cabage for my Fiance and I every weekend. Either in the Chinese, Italian, or Eastern European style. a fact that has my grandfather grinning from ear to ear in the grave every night)

Bacon each and every Sunday morning for me, and simple sauteed pork chops with caramelized pearl onions is my best dish.

Every once in a while, something gets posted that I get a good deal of joy from. And tonight I read the bacon post. Salut!

How delightful it must be. Driving home after a grueling day at the office. Park the car. Take the trash cans away from the curb. Oh, gotta check the mail. The electric bill should be in there today. Oh, what's this? Big pack of junk mail coupons? Nope, it's this month's bacon! The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades! Because of the bacon, see!
