Bear is not something you just "throw on the barbie" 'cause it will quickly get your attention! Cut off ALL of the fat and "silver skin." It lends itself to chillis, stews and pasta sauces. Bear makes superb hams and "corned bear" if you can find someone to do it. I've also had some GREAT pepperoni and summer sausage from bear. My sister uses rendered bear fat in her pie crusts, ...... hate to think of the cholesterol, but she has to put the filling in to keep the crusts on the table, they're so light!
