Jenny,
Wild pigs: we have neighbors that hunt & share...so we have had the meat of a few of the wild piggies. Most are tasty, but tougher meat (more stew meat than pork "tender"loin...) Very good for smoke meat, but much of the sausages they make are more fatty than we like (the fat does make the sausages less chewy...)
Gourds: Holualoa has the Ipu Hale Gallery, Michael Harburg & a very involved artist community are dedicated to bringing back, and sending forward, the tradition Hawaiian gourd work (including classes, seed exchanges & such). The Gallery is well worth a long visit...
