I just found this thread while scrolling for Christmas brunch recipes. I’ve been dieting and have been hangry, but thanks to this thread I’m back on track. Also I refuse to look up boar taint but at first I thought someone was literally joking that it was the taint of a boar. Lol

Hush, city girl. Pigs are actually very clean. They stink but they're very particular about their habitat. They tend to poop in the same spot and they never root in their poop.


(rolls eyes) Pulp Fiction quote, sweetie.


A dog eats its own shit. Is a dog a filthy animal?

Well, I wouldn't necessarily call them a filthy animal,but they definitely dirty. But I wouldn't eat no dog either.

Maybe the pork loin was about to go bad.

Just don’t eat pork. They are kind and loving animals, smarter than dogs.

PP is that what boar taint is?


No, boar taint would be related to the fact that most male pigs are castrated when they're a couple of weeks old.

Although they do have an inclination to poop where they drink. But (I raised them for a couple of years) this is true.

But commercially grown hogs live in pens with grated floors, they don't get to root in anything, and the poop falls below the grates.

No idea what happened with pp's pork loin though. Many of the ones I grew were sold on the hoof in our rural community and customers were always impressed with the quality and flavor.
