Wesley; I had a feeling when I saw the thread title that this was what you were talking about. Sounds like it was worth the price of admission. Again, what interested me about this was a weirdly "Christian" take on this most heathen of customs...

I cannot remember where I first got that link...but I was impressed with the website's coverage of the event.

Makes me wanna do it here in Boston!

As for the authenticity of the main dish: well, real wild boar along the lines of what was served in the European Boar's Head feasts are all but extinct; I believe there are still a few roaming the forests of France. I saw a program on the Discovery Channel called "In Pursuit of the Boar" that showed some charming footage of these shy but fearsome creatures... There are also wild pigs of differing varieties in South America and the American southwest, usually called peccaries or javelinas; but they are not the huge hairy beasts of old...
