Re: Feral pigs
It's definitely a delicacy. I've seen a couple of online Shops advertise badger meat, but it's not a common occurrence.
Badger ham seems to be popular among the people who do eat it. From what I remember from the hunting license course, they require a lot of preparation to make them palatable. For one , only the younger ones a destined for the freezer, and even then you have to be quick to remove the musk glands.

Re: Feral pigs
Over here where I hunt pigs get gutted and chopped up after the hunt and they go into the freezer for 2 weeks - the main worry is Trichinosis - you can take a piece of the lung and diaphragm to the lab and have it tested if you want to make dried ham.
Skaaphaas - In Europe it isn't feral pigs - it is wild boars. All black/gray when grown. Feral pigs are multicoloured.

Fair enough. I’ve read enough Asterix and Obelix that I should know this.

Re: Feral pigs
Cane fed interests me big time. Like Karoo lamb.
