Wild Hog Neck Roast

[wickll]

Wife cooked a neck roast from a wild hog yesterday. I believe the neck roasts are the best roast on a hog. Basically , brown lightly in oil, put in roasting pan (wife used a Magnalite which is probably older than I am), add potatoes, onions, salt, black pepper, and garlic. Cook at 340-350 degrees until it falls off the bone.

I like the neck roast because it has lots of flavor, and is not as greasy. My wife doesn't eat most wild game like deer or even elk. But she has no problem with wild hog.

Is the neck roast exactly what it sounds like? The area from the upper shoulder to the bottom of the head?

Yes, basically all of the vertebrae and meat from behind the head to the backbone (at the shoulders). Because the vertebrae make it hard to debone, cooking it as a roast until it falls off the bones works great.

Forgot to add, put a little water in the pot so it doesn't burn before the juices start coming out. Can use any number of seasonings like season-all, Tony's , or whatever.
