Bear meat

[thewillow]

Has anyone tasted bear? I saw it recently on a menu in Central Europe and was curious.

[Fitzer]

I had some in Finland once as a stew, it seemed like a cross in taste between venison and beef but was very, very greasy. Quite nice but a bit odd was my final opinion

We generally don't eat carnivores, bears, foxes, bagers, cats etc but seem to prefer herbivores, rabbits, cows, pigs etc I wonder why ?

[BenDToy]

I don't think bears are carnivores (but not certain) so maybe we are meant to eat them.

[sylvday]

As regards not eating carnivores, surely it's simply that we mainly eat farm animals, and it would have been near impossible for early man to domesticate carnivores.

I think bears are omnivores as are pigs.

Do koalas count?

[gmc2002]

This is a commonly held misconception koalas are in fact innumerate and have never been seen counting.

[sft42]

I've munched on a beaver or two....does that help any?

[archbishop]

Koalas are not bears.

[Jenny Tools]

I know they are square sweets !

Someone must have ! Fonzie Bear always had a smile on his face.
