THEY SAY HE'S GOT TO GO:
Georgia hunter boasts 1,100-pound wild hog kill (Associated Press, January 5, 2007)
A giant wild hog boasted to be bigger than the near-mythical "Hogzilla" caught in southern Georgia a few years ago has been killed in a suburban Atlanta neighborhood.Posted by Orrin Judd at January 6, 2007 12:23 PM
The hog hung snout down from a tree Friday in William Coursey's front yard, not far from where the avid hunter said he shot the beast. He said he hauled it to a truck weight station, which recorded the hairy hog at 1,100 pounds. [...]
[C]oursey believes his behemoth surpasses the famed super swine shot and killed in 2004 that weighed in at half a ton on the farm's scales. A team of National Geographic experts later confirmed 'Hogzilla" didn't quite live up to the 1,000-pound, 12-foot hype, saying the beast was probably 7 to 8 feet long, and weighed about 800 pounds.

Any relation to the Senator from New York?

Posted by: Mike Morley at January 6, 2007 1:22 PMMy first thought is to scale this up by about 1000%:
Pappardelle al Cinghiale
Macaroni:
4 eggs
14 ounces (400 grams) flour
Wild boar sauce:
2 onions, chopped
1 sprig rosemary
1 stalk celery, chopped
Olive oil
10 1/2 ounces (300 grams) tomatoes, chopped
14 ounces (400 grams) wild boar meat, minced
Freshly grated nutmeg
