Uncastrated pig meat sales are so unusual that it should not have been that difficult to have done this.
So I really have no stake in this game, other than to just enjoy the show, BUT, uncastrated pig, and indeed "unpapered" or untraced meat of any kind is VERY easy to obtain. I also live in a neighboring community to Beaverton that has a VERY high population of Hispanic people, and a TON of Mexican food trucks. For those in the area, you know which community I am talking about.
Anyway, I can put my hands on farm fresh pork, or beef, from at least 5 different sources inside of 15 minutes. If I was a small, struggling business owner, which many of these food trucks are, there is no way I would pay or use food wholesale sources for the most expensive cost item in my business, i.e. meat. They can get this meat for pennies per pound on what you pay for "documented" meat in the store or at a fancy restaurant that keeps meticulous paperwork on food sources.
Sorry, but if you know how it works you know that pork/meat from a cash only source like that is WAAAYYY cheaper than buying from expensive restaurant wholesalers like, Sysco, 5-Star, or US Foods, etc.
Now, I am not saying that is what happened to SH, but what I am saying is that this whole "exotic German Wild Boar" tangent is a little off(al) tee hee, because if you want cheap meat, that is possibly uncastrated, you can get it locally in Oregon.
Actually, a drive through the countryside can get you all kinds of farm fresh items in the areas surrounding Beaverton. Take that as you will, but let's not pretend that these food trucks are the ones you see on Netflix, with the finest, culinary chefs, and professionally sourced ingredients. They are small business owners, and like anyone, they just might cut costs by using a tertiary source of meat or any other item they need to do business. It's not a judgement, but they wouldn't be the first to do this.
