Serves 6

The texture and flavor of wild boar meat is much like that of pork, except there is little fat. The meat has a gamey taste because of the animal's diet. Like pork, wild boar must be cooked to well done(185 degrees F.) or frozen 3-4 weeks before cooking. Boar is cleaned, dressed, and cooked in the same way as pork. Very young animals are barbecued whole.
