Raw wild boar

[BlackHogDown]

Watched the episode and said the same thing to my wife. Lots of “wild game” comments from folks that didn’t really speak the “wild game” lingo very well.

Yup. I heard one where they used "wild boar" in reference to any feral pig, male or female.

That reference is used a lot, maybe it’s just me but makes me cringe every time I hear it used as a general term for pigs.

Raw wild boar

Their definition of wild boar and ours is a little different. Any "wild" meat that is purchased to serve in a restaurant goes through testing for trichinella and is safe to eat at any temperature.

Not true on testing. Brucellosis is a problem if undercooked.

Sounds dangerous to me. Wild pigs can carry several different diseases. And contraction can come in different forms.

Just cook the meat!

I don’t eat bloody pork or chicken.
Wild boar? I doubt it.

Cooked pork for this guy. Pretty sure pork of any kind,wild or not isn't safe to eat unless it is completely done.

I don't remember for sure but I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a case if trichinosis in years. They actually lowered the cooking temperature if I'm not mistaken. We are raising pork a lot differently now then they were in the 50's

Edit: looks like maybe 4 cases from farm raised pork in the last 8 years. Majority comes from bear oddly enough.

For years , the cooking temp for pork was 165 F. But it was lowered 15 degrees in 2011 to 145. (I don't like overcooked,but 145 seems a little low to my taste.)

But I saw that episode and thought it was funny, listening to all of the wild game "experts"....

Is that the new math? LOL

I think that is for farm raised pork. I still cook wild pork to 165

Yes, definitely for farm raised. Today's pigs are raised in much more sanitary conditions than years ago. But makes more sense than the new math.

They got bigger balls [emoji459] than me

Big balls and small brains....not a good combo

With wild pigs I'd also be concerned about pseudo rabies and swine brucellosis. I don't touch wild pigs without handoms.

Meat could have also been irradiated
