Actually, the Oxford Companion to Food describes it as similar to
suckling pig.

Problem though, is that skunks aren't native to Vietnam so I'm
curious why they consider this menu-worthy. Another catch is that
all game animals for retail consumption must be farmed, and as far
as I know, skunk farms are just urban myths. Skunk, like
armadillo, aren't something you want to shoot yourself and eat.

I'd be curious to know if they really would serve skunk (rather
than just saying 'Sowwy, we're out of it today'). Methinks it's
just a marketing ploy.

Also, their "wild pig" is also an oxymoron as pigs are
domesticated.

Hmmm, guess the wild pigs (or 'feral hogs', if you prefer) I frequently
hunt in East Texas are just a collective hallucination, then. Ain't
nothing domesticated about their behaviour, but they sure taste nice
after many hours in a BBQ pit.

Or perhaps the're serving domestic pig that's got an emotional disorder,
and is prone to fits of uncontrollable erratic behavior.

They are simply domesticated pigs not held in captivity, placed
there by ranchers who specifically put them there for you to
shoot. You should be hunting boar, though.

try to walk up and pet one in the middle of the herd sometime.

Then if you survive the encounter and the stitches are all out ask a game
warden about feral hogs to see if he thinks they are just a domestic hog
some rancher turned loose... I think you will find out really quick they
stopped being domestic hogs several generations ago.. Not that domestic hogs
are very domestic...

Wertz, you're digging yourself deeper in the ignorance pit...

Yes, generations back they were someone's precious pink pig. Countless
generations later, they're big snarly tusked beasts, with thick spiky
hair, and really bad attitudes. Pigs are atavistic wonders, and any
domesticity they might have had is quickly bred out once in the wild.

Second, only an asshole would go on a 'canned' hunt, where you are
driven to a stand on a game ranch, and shoot the next thing that wanders
by. I assure you, when hunting wild hog, you've got to spend many hours
shredding yourself through thick scrub or poaching yourself in hot nasty
swamp to get to where the really big porkers hide out.

As for hunting wild boar? Same thing, baby. Sus Scrofa interbreeds with
domestic feral pigs quite readily. In fact, unless you go to Europe
you're unlikely to see the original boar stock in the purebred form.

So, howzabout getting up off the couch, and out into the field some
more? You might learn something.

Yep, hunted them south of Richmond,TX up next to the Brazos. Javalina
too. Mean suckers! Marty Stoffer (SP) on the program "Wild Kingdom?"
on television usually stands around next to a tiger or other animal and
does his show with no trace of fear. I only saw him get scared twice on
TV and head up a tree, and that was once when a pack of Javalina chased
him up and another, when wild pigs went after him!

Nasty critters...

Gotta mostly disagree with ya on this one, Steve.
No rancher or farmer wants feral hogs running around wild. They do
tremendous damage to the land and the fences.
Mostly they are domestic hogs who have escaped and roam freely.
As for them being there for hunters...the ranchers hope hunters kill 'em
all. .
I shoot at least one a year. They are way better eating than venison. The
last time I Q'ed both domestic and wild hog for a get together, I only had
domestig leftover. At first I didn't tell 'em which was which, but they
figured it out pretty quick.

While it is true that many hunters want to shoot hogs most ranchers want
them to shoot ALL the hogs. And while it is true that some ranchers offer
day hunts for wild hogs at a price , many ranchers pay hog trappers to come
in the off season(deer that is...hogs have no season in Texas) to trap the
hog population. It doesn't help a whole lot.Hogs are very prolific and can
be very illusive and adapt easily to the wild side of life.

Yeah, even 'domestic' hogs aren't all that domestic. If you've ever
spent any time around folks that raise hogs, you tend to hear the phrase
'ain't been so happy since the hogs ate my little sister" every so often.

While it is true that many hunters want to shoot hogs most ranchers want
them to shoot ALL the hogs. And while it is true that some ranchers offer
day hunts for wild hogs at a price , many ranchers pay hog trappers to come
in the off season(deer that is...hogs have no season in Texas) to trap the
hog population. It doesn't help a whole lot.Hogs are very prolific and can
be very illusive and adapt easily to the wild side of life.
FWIW, I didn't know that all these escaped, feral pigs were that
common around here. What do I know, I'm a city boy.
They're still a breed of domestic pig, though, IMO at least ;-)

You are correct . They are exdomestic hogs, but we're not talkin' about
Porky Pig here...this is a hairy big nasty smelly rotwieler with a mean
streak. They can be a problem IN the cities. A fairly new neighborhood
close to NASA recently had a rash of problems with feral hogs. They were
coming into the yards of folks who had spent loads of bucks on landscaping
(and the yards of a few folks who do ther own lanscaping) and rooting up
yards and flowerbeds. Kinda looks like they plowed the yards up with a
pickaxe. The cops couldn't help, so some of the bow hunters in the area took
care of the problem...for a while. The next year they were back in full
force. I guess We'll have to see what happens with 'em this year. .

Also, their "wild pig" is also an oxymoron as pigs are
domesticated.
Hmmm, guess the wild pigs (or 'feral hogs', if you prefer) I frequently
hunt in East Texas are just a collective hallucination, then.
They are simply domesticated pigs not held in captivity, placed
there by ranchers who specifically put them there for you to
shoot. You should be hunting boar, though.

Gotta mostly disagree with ya on this one, Steve.
No rancher or farmer wants feral hogs running around wild. They do
tremendous damage to the land and the fences.
OK, so maybe they weren't put there purposely, but I'd bet the
rancher still charges for use of the land. You did use the word
Domestic, though, so that's good enough for me ;-)

They beg people to get rid of them. In fact, there are websites where
they post hunters and landowners for the purpose of facilitating getting
rid of hogs and at the same time helping hunters.

Here is an example of a post from http://www.texasboars.com/nuisance/
posted a couple of weeks ago:

"I have twenty acreas in Houston county thirteen is a hay meadow. The
wild hogs are destroying the property. You can trap or kill and keep the
meat or despose of the dead animals..anyone interesed?? thank you"

Well you certainly won't find any stray animals or roadkill within a five
mile radius of Bodard. I like meat but this sounds like a house of horrors
to me.

Skunk....who would have thunk it?

Perhaps it's a poor translation, and they really meant a kind of fish -
smelt!
