Wild Boar Pasta & Cristo Rey Jesuit...Most people who get to know me quickly realize that when it comes to food, I'm pretty closed minded! I'm definitely a meat and potatoes (or, to be totally honest, a hamburger and french fries) type of person. It thus caught me off-guard when I was dining out with some very close friends of mine and someone ordered Wild Boar Pasta for the table to taste. My initial reaction was one of serious suspicion and disbelief. There is no way anyone could make wild boar taste good and I had no desire to venture out of my culinary comfort zone to give it a try. Immediately thinking that if my mother found out I rejected this very kind gesture, I would definitely be grounded (no - it does not matter than I'm a grown adult and a priest to boot!!), I grudgingly decided to give it a try. So it took me totally by surprise to find out that I loved it!! Spicy, tender and juicy in a silky, dark brown gravy, if I had known something this different could be this incredible, I would have ordered it myself!
