boar

Marius tore away another hunk of meat from off the bone with his teeth, ignoring the dribble of grease down his chins. These Bree-landers took great pride in their boar, displaying its image on banners all around their city, but Marius himself thought the meat to be tough and gamey. A cloud of dust formed not far off. He grunted as he eased himself to his feet, remnants of food falling off his lap to the ground as he stood and made his way to meet the source of the dust.

Paganita, a young Hobbit of extraordinary courage, had heard the great tale of the Boar-flank steak to end all Boar-flank steaks. This extraordinary meal could only be carved from the shoulder of a Boar so great and old it was rumoured to have been rooting around already when Dragons still roamed Middle-Earth.
