Curly Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I was at my brothers house in Fla for thanksgiving. He goes to Alaska to hunt a lot and always has plenty of red meat in his freezer of all sorts of large mammals....because they can't cook a lick So I have some bear meat and deer to cook. I've never eaten bear, so I've found a few websites that have a lot of different ways to cook it. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadDog Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I have heard that there are a lot of similarities between bear and pig. I would look at pork recipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerard Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Whatever you do, cook it to at least 140* or preferably 145 cause bear meat is FULL of Trichinella. Some of the worst trichinosis outbreaks reported by the CDC are family gettogethers with some yayhoo cooking the bar he shot. *IIRC, 138 is the temp that kills it... but DON'T take my word for it BAD disease to get.

Curly Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Yeah, the websites I went to emphasised the trickynoses thingee and that pork was very similar. My brother and his wife told me there way...bury it in chicken soup...put a lot of salt and pepper on it and cook in crockpot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemonkey Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 bury it in chicken soup...put a lot of salt and pepper on it and cook in crockpot That sounds like the object is to hide the meat and whatever flavor it may bring Kind of like "We have this bear, and we are going to eat it so we can survive the winter. It may be nasty stuff, but the protein will keep us alive." Exactly why I stick to conventional barnyard animals! You are a braver man than I, Curly. I think living in that log-cabin out in the woods has brought out the call of the wild in you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
