I think this is the perfect way to use up that wild boar roast you have in the bottom of the freezer. Don’t have a wild boar roast? Use a pork shoulder! It’ll be wonderful either way. These have a tangy barbecue sauce and pickled onions for the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. I think these sandwiches will make everyone happy.
