I’ve never heard of this either, I had to check Wikipedia. Apparently it’s caused by two chemicals from boar balls, one is “sweaty” tasting and one is “fecal”.
It’s like old piss. When I did the first cook in the air fryer was the worst experience cooking I’ve ever had. It started out great and then the fat started to render releasing the hormones and punted that out the vent with malicious intent… I’m convinced boar taint is why pork is considered unclean in many cultures and religions around the world, because it’s, uh, pretty damn bad.
Also, boar is just male big that made it to puberty/adulthood before the butcher.
I haven’t tried the lime brine yet as I’m still recovering mentally, but hoping once I’m out of Thanksgiving leftovers I’ll be ready.
I like to top cream cheese on bagel with sliced cherry tomatoes or fresh figs if they’re in season. You can also mix some chopped raisins, a bit of honey, and cinnamon into plain cream cheese for an easy, yet yummy spread.
Want to make it extra yummy? Dried tomatoes. One of the white pizze that I prepare often is mascarpone (basically cream cheese), sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms, it’s really easy to adapt this into your bagel.
I usually just steam some veggies in the microwave, drain out the water, toss a pat of cream cheese in the bowl and leave it covered for a bit while it melts in the steamy veggies. Hit it with some garlic powder and sea salt and pepper. Good eatin’!
What else do you eat cream cheese with? Genuine question, I only recently started eating cream cheese, and I’ve only ever eaten it with bagels or toasted bread
Growing up my mum would often make what she would call “poor man’s cheese cake.”
Take a Graham cracker, put a personally appropriate schmear of cream cheese on, add whatever jam you have on hand (my personal favs are blackberry/blueberry and raspberry, top with one or more fresh pieces of fruit.
I had this in Brno and it was great! The cranberry sauce was a surprise and was my favorite flavor. I didn’t expect it to jive that well with the rest of the dish.
