And frankly, that is how they taste. We tried to eat our wild pigs
twice, and I just couldn't take the flavor. In the olden days,
Hawaiians used to make an oven in the ground and sort of steam and
cook the meat- for about 12 hours. They had covered the oven with
banana leaves,etc. and I think they did all this, to make the meat
palatable and soft. Think Kalua pig.

Just my $.02.
