Holme
Farmed (Yorks) - Wild Boar
I recall
reading in our NFU Countryside
magazine late last year about Holme
Farmed (Yorkshire) produce, and then
seeing a branded pack in our
Sainsbury's, it was just too
tempting!...
Now we
realise that Holme Farmed are all
about British venison but they do
offer wild boar sausages under their
Game Range. These particular
sausages are made with wild boar
sourced from the EU and Australia,
plus added pork from the EU, but
that aside, they actually tasted
very good.
60% wild boar with 20% pork, with
breadcrumbs in natural pork casings.
Sounds good to us!
Cooked up the texture was close but
not too firm. Very succulent
as it happens and the taste was
quite porky. A couple of the
troops here say they don't favour
overly strong porky tasting sausages
but these were "OK this time" for
the fussy ones evidently! I
liked them very much...a good
"munch"!
Shrinkage was very acceptable but weight loss
however was very
noticeable. Given the price
per kilo raw then these are not what
you'd call cheap, but then again
they're a good porky tasting sausage
from the Holme Farmed Game Range.
