Comments on: Marinated Cucumber and Wild Boar Chops with Noodles https://dinnerdiary.org/2008/01/07/marinated-cucumber-and-wild-boar-chops-with-noodles/ A (photo) diary of our dinners Tue, 08 Jan 2008 10:22:30 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Stephen https://dinnerdiary.org/2008/01/07/marinated-cucumber-and-wild-boar-chops-with-noodles/comment-page-1/#comment-2285 Tue, 08 Jan 2008 10:22:30 +0000 http://dinnerdiary.org/2008/01/07/marinated-cucumber-and-wild-boar-chops-with-noodles/#comment-2285 Hi L, the butcher that we got the wild boar from is Randalls on Wandsworth Bridge Road in Fulham. The lamb shanks that we cooked over the weekend were from there too. It’s a bit further away than the butcher that we normally go to, but not a huge amount further, so I think I’ll stop being lazy and go down there more often.

I’ve had wild boar in sausages before, but never just plain wild boar. I assumed that cooking them would be similar to cooking pork, so we did cook them through but were careful not to overcook them.

Good tip about The Japan Centre, thanks, we’ll have a look around next time we’re near it.

I’ve never cooked boar either, do you have to cook it through completely?

Those bowls are great – The Japan Centre has a shop that sells cheap crockery too, and if it doesn’t have a price tag on it they charge you £1.50. I don’t know if you’re near, but its worth checking out.

Where is this great butcher’s of yours, may I ask?

Next time we’ll buy them without a marinade so we can taste them better.

We’re actually lucky enough to have two really good butchers near us, the closest one is our usual and they generally always have everything we need. The one we got the boar from has a lot more game and they tend to marinate a lot more of their meat which can be useful but mostly we prefer to buy it plain and add the flavours ourselves.

The bowls are from Oriental City Antonia, they do a huge range and I would like to get some more before they close if I can. I thought of you on Saturday while I was in the Emma Bridgewater shop!

I’ve never seen wild boar chops for sale before. You must have a great butcher nearby. I love your blue and white bowls, by the way!

What does it taste like?
