Greetings,
Next weekend, 10/1, I will be cooking a Saxon feast for Danelaw. ( 
http://www.brynmadoc.org/danelaw14.html ) One of the dishes we will be 
preparing is stewed boar:
Eofor (stewed boar) — Boar, onions, pepper, sage, thyme, coriander seed, 
red wine, salt
My supplier for the boar is not that familiar with what the cuts mean 
for this animal, and neither am I. I understand what the shoulder cut 
is, and that is an option. However, there are two cheaper cuts listed: 
belly and trim. I am fairly sure that the belly would be similar to 
bacon and the trim is the leftover pieces from "trimming" the other 
cuts. So, would trim be suitable for a boar stew, or should I stick with 
the shoulder?
Thanks!
Aoghann
