Pork Chops in Çaliş

[GordonA]

Yes, and I have heard from someone who lives in Fethiye that a lot of the steak that the Brits crave and cannot live without for two weeks is actually wild boar, apparently, it's delicious and the Brits cannot tell the difference.

This is what happens when one spends too much time in Waitrose !! ;-)

Ahem, the subject is red pork chops.

[philrose]

Yes, back on topic. We tried some last month, absolutely terrible, tough and tasteless, the dog eenjoyed them though...
They are however definitely not boar.

[quackers]

The label says vixen chops. They are tough may be better ıf casseroled or ın a slow cooker. They smell lıke boar.

They certainly are a different & somewhat acquired taste, but in no way would I have considered the meat could be confused with pork.

Wild boar is the wild variety of the domestic pig and so is pork.     It's getting quite popular in Scotland and is for sale at a few outlets.  I must say that the steaks do look very like beef steaks.   I have tried it once and found it O.K.  It is quite expensive thought.  This is it on a Scottish website with prices.

Friends of ours have raised a rare breed of domestic pig which is very very like wild boar and have to say the meat from those pigs was the nicest I have ever tasted.
Back on track.  We have tried pork in Calis but found it tough.

I had a spit roasted wild boar at my bosses "house", it was fantastic, I really enjoyed it.

Yes but what was the food like,,,,, a lot of obscure meats can be disguised as as a different meat especially if sauces are involved, most people dont question what they are served in a restaurant (obviously different in a butchers), if it tastes okay all the better, im from the old school, if your hungry, catch it, kill it and eat it!!  If its made of meat its fair game, lol, pardon the pun!!

Where in Glasgow is the best place to set traps for bacon sarnies ?   

[Div67]

Knot too sure as I am a Highland Haggis hunter myself! but I have heard, next to motorways there are such contraptions, I think they even breed them,, (breed being a Scottish term for bread) :-))
