Greasy like the Italian guys taint.
Hog taint, allegedly, is a taste/ smell in male hogs. Mamaw says some people can’t taste it, but she can. I castrate hogs anyway, so I don’t know.
But Mamaw says gopher got the taint too.
The internet says it’s called boar taint

Yeah there’s something to that, I do remember something about butchering a hog you had to skin if the right way or you ruined the whole hog. But I haven’t hog hunted or made fresh pork since a kid.

That’s likely not to rupture the intestines, bile, and there is a communicable disease we can get from hogs if you were to get splatter in your eye or mouth.
The only concern for the skin would be scraped or skinned. Lots of old timers like to fry the skin or leave it on for curing, so you got to scrape

You are right there though. Some meat needs a good soaking in whole milk, salt water… Then rinse.
I don’t call my home “Poverty Ridge” for no reason. lol

Usually the meat you get at the store is from midsized castrated males and females… something about the balls makes the meat taste off is usually whats said … i remember we did it on the farm to keep them from biting each others off when fighting over girls…

There was this boar when I was a kid who had one testicle because he got the other one caught in the slats of the hay rack feeder. He got it wedged in there scratching his ass and popped it right out.
Still kept us in piglets every year
