When a friend was last in Kiev the fish from the river could still

Then, you better stay away from Germany, too! Or at least avoid wild
pork and mushrooms!

"Wild" pork????? Do they still hunt boar in Europe?

Germany is full of them. They cause big damage in farming. In the last
years, they are even invading big cities like Berlin.

and they can be dangerous. They can attack you, particularly if you
encounter a one with piglets.

My only close encounter was being charged by one that was lurking in a
corn field near Toulouse. We were assisting at an accident.


Some years back I was walking with a group of friends in the forests
north of Frankfurt. One of them had the brilliant idea of offering some
food to a wild boar. The story ended with us all racing to escape the
entire pack, and we finally rescued ourselves by throwing our all our
sandwiches away to distract the animals.
