Wild boar - delicious when roasted in the oven or spit-roasted over a wood fire. Even when the meat is minced up and fried, it makes a wonderful ragu sauce. 
I loath wild boar. Horrible stuff in my opinion. Iām not over fond of pork at the best of times but wild boar (even with chocolate sauce) - nah.
What the heck kind of cuisine is that??
We are both entitled to our opinions Todger. I actively sought out wild boar on menus when we lived in Italy. In fact, one of the trattorias we frequented was called āIl Cinghialeā (It. for wild boar).
Itās quite a common accompaniment with wild boar. Sometimes the 'orrible meat is cooked in it. I had it a couple of times in posh nosheries in Belgium. Check out āCinghiale in Dolce Forteā as an example, one of many.

I just looked that up, and it does sound delicious! Chocolate just isnāt something I associate with savoury dishes, to be honest. I need to expand my tastes (not with boar thoughā¦nice piggy!)
Why would I want to see that, LD?
This popped up in my news feed, apparently because of the rains feral pigs are breeding in record numbers.
My memory has just been jogged!
I munched on a wild boar pie during a visit to Borough Market a few years ago. It was really quite flavoursome, a vast improvement on the average pork pie from the supermarket.
