George Herter of catalog fame said that bear lard was the best for baking pastry.

I've had bear three times, the first time was a little one that was roasted whole on a spit and it was great tasting.

I shot one with my longbow in '95 in the boondocks of Northern Wisconsin. I had to force it down and will never kill another one. Still have a jar of the lard in the basement fridge and use it for patch lube in my front-stuffers.

The third time last winter at a game feed and it was a bad as the one I killed. I'm done with eating bear.
