I need meat.

The place I used to get pre-sliced boar bacon from doesn't seem to offer it anymore. If they do, I'm not seeing it. That sucks, because it was outstanding.

Who else offers such a product? What's the fucking best out there? I'm digging on the idea of providing bacon for a few people this Christmas, and that was by far the best I've ever tasted.

Dead-set on boar, mind you; as wild as possible without me having to run around in the woods to get it. I'd like to place an order for a few pounds to be delivered packaged separately, as close to the holidays as possible.

Hell, I don't care if one of you buggers killed and smoked the damned thing, so long as it's the cat's ass and I don't have to make a mess.

Cheers,

Kennith

I know you're dead set on boar, but why don't you try to source some high end pork belly and cure / smoke it yourself? I'm sure the result will be as good.

I didn't think it was legal to sell wild game meat. Not out of a real store, anyways.

They aren't actually "wild". They're simply farmed on open range, and allowed to eat whatever the hell they want.

You just have to be careful, because a few places put little pink piggies out there and call them boar.

Cheers,

As I understand it, the boar around VA is useless for bacon these days - they run too much to collect enough belly fat. Don't know if there are lazier pigs down your way.

The stuff I was getting before came from Canada. Right now, there's a place selling from Texas that actually lists the food the animals tend to eat, which is encouraging. The unexpectedly low price, however, isn't. I kind of find it hard to believe.

I might order some ahead of time to see what's what.

Cheers,
