venison and bison meat are wonderful--n, not from Texas, but who has lived in OregonTo: MSersLife Sent: Tue, March 1, 2011 12:35:20 PMSubject: RE: Question (especially) for the Texans on the list

In south Texas we have a wild pig called a "javalina" - they are a

nuisance animal, and lots of people hunt them. And then we would eat them!

:-D

I would think boar meat, like javalina, would do just fine in chili! I

would "pre-treat" in any way you would use with boar (we used to boil the

javalina meat with oranges and lemons to lessen the strong taste) and try it

out!

Chili also works with moose, elk, antelope, rabbit, rattlesnake.... :-D

Question (especially) for the Texans on the list

I just found a recipe of "Chili con carne, Texas style", that sounds

delicious! Something like this, although this is not the actual recipe I

found: http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/dakotas-texas-style-chili/Detail.aspx

Now I'd like to know if you (or should that be "all y'all"...) think wild

boar will do instead of beef.

I understand, of course, that it should be beef if it's to be the original,

authentic Texas style chili, but I happen to have a pound of wild boar steak

in the fridge and was thinking I might use this recipe to cook it. What do

you think? Will it be edible at all...
