Anything Free Range (not just a foot inside a cage) that wanders the paddocks, fields and eats 'nature'.

Is better than anything 'Farmed' and grain-fed. The taste is the obvious change noticed to consumers. Farmed Tuna, Salmon, Pigs, Chickens, etc, etc - well, they're just for the mass production for over-population in the world.

True but keep in mind many wild animals cooked rare to medium can infect you with parasites et al.

On the other hand Tasmanian farmed salmon carries more health risks than swimming in sewage.

I have steered away from butchers after buying rotten meat many times.
In the supermarket they at least have the meat in
hermetically sealed plastic packages with a use by date.
At the butcher you never know how old their meat is and
how many flies have landed on it.

I cannot recall ever getting rotten meat from a butcher. Chicken once, from the supermarket deli, but I think I took to long to get it in the fridge.

When I had a cat I used her to test the meat from the butcher -
cats won't eat rotten meat.
She refused meat many times from the butcher.

Other times I could smell that it was off.
When does the butcher throw the old meat out?
How do they know if it's rotten?

Bobby, if the butcher does not know for absolute certain that the meat is rotten, is it actually a lie if he tells you it is good to eat? After all, it could be true, right?

I've eaten wild pig when I was a teenager -
the flavor is very strong and it's wonderful meat.
We knew a hunter who would get wild pig meat for us.

I think I was about 10 years old when I had a hangi at our hockey club. The piece of meat I had turned out to be the part where the pig was shot. It was off because of the maggoty infestation that took place before the cooking. I discarded the meat and went to get another piece. The guy serving acted like I was too well-fed. I told him the story. He reluctantly gave me another piece.

I am all for getting wild boar onto the menu. But it is all triggered memories for me.
