The cuisine of Corsica (Corse) combines Mediterranean with pastoral mountain flavours. The most celebrated dish is a thick and meaty wild boar stew. The Corsican wild Boar or sanglier is smaller than it's mainland counterpart.
They are shy bristled creatures who roam the rocky landscape grazing on myrtle, thyme, rosemary, chestnuts and lavender.
Corsica is often called the scented Isle because of the sprawling mass of aromatic bushes. I would love to sop up the this stews delectable gravy with crusty Corsican bread!

With all the herbs they're eating, cooking the boar should require nothing but an occasional baste.
Oh no! That is sad! I'm sad for that little guy. Although I am also sure he is delicious!
