Javelinas is the nickname of Texas A&M University, Kingsville. Only school that uses that as a mascot.

I'm no scholar but I read that the Javelina is no pig at all. His closest relative is an antelope. It looks like a pig to me. I must be mistaken as RJS didn't mention it & he's about the 2nd oldest person in Texas. I guess I better look that up.

Whereas domestic pigs and wild hogs are classified/regarded as
'Old World' pigs, javelinas are defined as 'New World' pigs !
There is a definite difference in the taste/texture of the meat
(or so I've read), and javelinas/ peccaries definitely do have a strong, musky scent about them !

I’ve eaten javalina. The flavor ain’t all bad if seasoned good but what I had was not quite as tender as the bottom of my work boots. The back straps were like trying to cut a bungee cord. My hounds wouldn’t touch it and they’d eat just about anything.

Yes, and I was at a cocktail party in Houston, someone who knew I had lived in the Valley, came up and asked me
" How the Javelins were doing?" I had no idea what he was talking about since there is a lot of difference
in Javelinas and javlins! Just Sayin...RJS

You have that right! But when you are hit with such an unusual question, you don't know whether it is your ignorance, or theirs? Just Sayin...RJS

When i went in to Mexico from Larado I tried some javalina. The Mexican's split the animal & cook him over a bed of coals. Every little bit they would mop some sauce on the meat. The smell is wonderful & the 1st time I tried it the meat was really good. It was not a pork flavor but was really tasty. Couldn't wait to get back down there. My 2nd dose of the javalina meat was a never forget this experience. It left a foul taste that I couldn't wash out. It could be the difference between an old boar & a young sow or a young boar that hasn't started breeding yet. I haven't been back to old Mexico in 15 years but I will never forget that taste.

Bottomcoon: It probably, and most likely had to do with the cleaning of the Javelina when it was first killed. They have a couple of scent glands and if those aren't carefully avoided, you have ruined the meat. Just Sayin...RJS

reminds me of some lamb I had once - they were giving out samples at Costco and I took one and popped it in my mouth. Ordinarily I like lamb, but this was the lambiest lamb I've ever tasted and it left that tallowy taste in my mouth - took a while to get rid of it and I haven't had any lamb since. Thinkin maybe somebody snuck in some mutton?

Spirit: You can have all the lamb/mutton, whatever that exists. i refuse any part of the woolie ones. If it is lamb it tastes like freezer burned beef to me, and that is the politest terms I can think of . Just Sayin...RJS

Spirit: on my first successful bow hunting trip, I killed 3 deer, two bucks and a doe. I gave one to my hunting partner since he had only killed one buck. Our Mexican maid and I processed these two deer and froze them in family sized packs. My children walking through and seeing our working with this meat would say, "I am not going to eat any of that bloody stuff"! But later when it was cooked, they never knew the differfence in it and beef. When venison is done correctly, that is no bone dust or hair getting into and on the meat, it is as good as any beef.
