Great, I switched from tomatoes to jalapenos due the initial warning. Would some kind soul go by Sam’s and pick up a gross of tp and leave it on my front porch, stat? Thanks in advance.

i am *somewhat* surprised that your contact didn’t think salmonella came from “sal-mon fish”.

I had a great cinghale ragu in Boston’s north end last year. i was thrilled to find it since I haven’t seen it on any menus here. I asked where the boar came from … Texas. go figure.

I would not be suprised if at the end of all this they find this outbreak is due to an overpopulation of Ferral Hogs running through the corporate/private farms leaving their poo in the crops and/or brushing up to the crops with a filthy hide. This is what happened with the spinach a while back in California. There are no natural predators for ferral hogs except man and these ugly pigs breed like rabbits. Luckily, they are very good to eat. So I say lets create a demand by allowing more resturants to serve wild boar/pig and please support you local hog killer and or chef that cooks or serves wild boar.
