I don't mean to "boar" you

OK, bad play on words. Anyway, I haven't been eating in our staff restaurant much lately since I've been spending most lunches at home with Grady, so I haven't been keeping track of what they're serving. I happened to check out yesterday's menu, however, and saw that they were having another one of those items you just wouldn't find on many menus back home: carré de marcassin--roast loin of young wild boar in a spicy shallot and mustard sauce. (I'm sure young wild boar is far superior to old tame boar...)
