I’ve never eaten boar. What does this “taint” taste like?
I've never heard of this either, I had to check Wikipedia. Apparently it's caused by two chemicals from boar balls, one is "sweaty" tasting and one is "fecal".
Somewhere between the balls and ass, hence “taint”… got it.
Lol I didn't even mean that, it's literally what wiki said hahaha
But it's just too perfect now I read it again 🤣
Ahh yeah that’s gotta suck. Hopefully OP can get it tasting good.
It's also why only female animals are farmed for food and eaten.
It's like old piss. When I did the first cook in the air fryer was the worst experience cooking I've ever had. It started out great and then the fat started to render releasing the hormones and punted that out the vent with malicious intent.. I'm convinced boar taint is why pork is considered unclean in many cultures and religions around the world, because it's, uh, pretty damn bad.
Also, boar is just male big that made it to puberty/adulthood before the butcher.
I haven't tried the lime brine yet as I'm still recovering mentally, but hoping once I'm out of Thanksgiving leftovers I'll be ready.
Damn that sounds awful and that’s super interesting about what you said about pork being “unclean” probably really is something to that.
Woah that's fucking interesting.
I never considered that. Also just hearing about boar taint.
