I cooked a whole little 30 pound pig Saturday for Gibbs Knotts and his wife Stacy and daughter Whitney, all of whom are leaving our mountains for a new home in Charleston this month. His dad (the pig's, not Gibbs's) was a Berkshire Boar, and his mom was a Berkshire and wild Russian boar mix. According to Daryl Talley of Trillium Farms Natural Pork, his Grandmom was the first wild boar sow legally taken from next-door Great Smoky Mountains National Park, one of the European variety introduced by the Vanderbilts for hunting. I'll let the pictures tell the story...
