I think it's the fat in commercial pork that gives it flavor. The fat in feral hogs is a lot less, and different in that their diet is different. To me, wild pork tastes a lot like beef. Not sirloin or T-bone, but more like a chuck roast or a round steak. It's fairly lean and redder than store bought pork. This stuff is *not*
The Other White Meat.
I've made breakfast sausage out of it, in which the recipe called for a half-cup of cooking oil to be added per each pound of ground sausage. I've found sometimes that's not enough to keep the meat from burning in the pan. It is that lean!
