once in a great while you get a rank slab of bacon these days - used to occur more often but they screen for boar taint at the slaughter site now
my company tried to invent a sensor that would screen for taint before the pig was whacked
but we couldn't identify a sensor that reacted rapidly...
I thought same thing
the compound responsible for the hideous smell/taste is called skatole
the phrase is boar taint - ha ha
