maybe try soaking it over night ..then dry and cook..... Ive been lucky and never struck a really bad porker.... I do whip knackers straight out and empty out the pizzle, after sticking boars,dont know if it makes a difference but its what I was shown and I have no reason to doubt it does make difference.
try in macaroni cheese...it would have to be really bad before it would not work in that.
