Wild Hog

Sometimes Benny likes to joke around to where I can't really tell if he is joking or not. Last night was one of those nights. Here is our conversation through text.

Me: Almost home yet?
Benny: Yup. How does wild hog sound for dinner?
Me: Huh?
Benny: I killed a hog.
Me: What?
Benny: I killed a hog and want to eat it tonight.
Me: WHAT?! How?
Benny: With my truck.
Me: You have got to be fucking kidding me!
Benny: Nope. Meet me at the shop in a min.

I didn't really believe him until I looked in the back of the truck and yup, there it was. I was still very sceptical at this point (hitting an animal with your car tends to ruin the meat) and told him he was wasting his time. He said he ran over it's head so the hams and the back strap would still be good. So I watched to see who was right. Of course, he was.

I was tired last night so all I did was put it in salt water and go to bed but tonight, we will be eating wild hog roast. It is really good. Better than any pork you can buy at the store.

So here is my question, does eating road kill cross over into white trash territory even if it is really good meat? If so, oh well. I'm eatin good tonight!

Oh. my. Lord. I think I would totally freak if I looked in the back of my husband's truck and found a wild hog!

I'm sure it will taste very good! He hit it in the right spot.

I. Am. Speechless.

I had no idea hogs ran wild!
Around here if you hit something with you car it's deer or raccoon. I think I need to visit Texas!

I agree with shortmama, if it's your roadkill it's ok. Someone else's and you're crossing the line!
Do you think Benny could hit a steer right before I come visit so we can have some fresh steak? ;)

Uh. I don't really know what to say... Me personally I don't eat anything that I can't buy at a grocery store. I don't even eat deer meat.

So if Stevie showed up with an animal in the back of the truck...uh I just don't know.

But I hope you enjoy!

It's like natural meat pounding, right?

Where I live road kills are a fact of life. When you hit a deer or an elk, you can call fish and game and they can allow you to legally keep the meat.
