Homeless Shelter Stops Serving Bear Meat

A Juneau homeless shelter has stopped serving donated bear meat after learning the state prohibits nonprofit groups from accepting wild game meats such as bear, fox and walrus.


Can't say I've ever had the pleasure. :shock:

Of course. Would you like some bearclaws for dessert, perhaps?

I've heard bear is good but I've never had the opportunity to try it. My grandparents were big on eating wild game, possums,racoons,rabbits. Rabbit was ok but dry unless it's cooked properly. The rest I could never bring myself to eat.

Every year, Ducks Unlimited holds a wild game feed in the town where I grew up. Over the years I've tried various species of:
bear,
turtle,
raccoon,
opossum,
jackrabbit,
rattlesnake,
elk,
grouse,
coyote,
and probably more that I can't remember off the top of my head.

I've also eaten duck, goose, pheasant, deer, and bison meat (but I don't really consider them exotic).

Fried alligator is good. Broiled alligator is too watery though.

It's good marinated and grilled, if you can get it to hold together.

I can second that.

But it's not very good in sausage.

mmm . . . buffalo . . . .

unfortunately, I don't think I'll be going to the restaurant that serves buffalo this summer, pout pout pout. however, there's a butcher stand at our local farmers' market that sells it, so I may have to try cooking it at home. I'll be making duck in September for our Mabon feast. that's as exotic as I've gotten, though.

Nope.

I haven't had Yeti, Loch Ness- or unicorn burgers, either.

I've heard that Mr. Manly enjoys the occasional Jackalope stew, though.

I tried the buffalo burger while in Denver a few years back. It was so tough. I think that is what I didn't like about it. I can't even remember the taste of it now.

yes, in that chili (with an "i"--and only one "l") fries are fries with chili on them, and cheese fries are fries with cheese on them. there is also the amalgam known as "chili cheese fries," which I leave as an exercise to the imagination.

it is my understanding that buffalo is very low-fat; this is what contributes to over-cooked buffalo being tough, just as cooking all the fat out of beef makes it tough. this is one of the reasons I haven't cooked it yet; it's not cheap, and I'm afraid of ruining it.

There is a restaurant chain here called Culver's that has great Chili Cheese Fries if you're into that sort of thing. They are not, however, low in fat.

For those who are concerned about such things, here is the USDA Nutrition Facts on bison (buffalo).

Bison recipies.
Note: I've never tried any of these, so I don't know how they'll turn out.

Beef is still my favorite meat, though. Followed closely by vegetarians. :twisted:
