Why Bear Fat Makes for Better Baking

quote [ While the technique is rare today, bear fat was a common ingredient for centuries, though one with a unique hangup. As with all omnivores, bears’ fat takes on the general flavor of their diet. In early fall, when nuts, berries, and acorns dot North America’s forests, Shaw writes, bear fat is “sublime … virtually indistinguishable from the finest pork lard you can buy or make.” The fat of blueberry-eating bears in Montana, for example, assumes sweet, fruity hints and a slight purple tinge. But if a bear most recently ate fish or suburban garbage, the lard takes on a briney odor that ranges from low-tide to truly vile. ]

This only reinforces my desire to kill a bear, eat it, then wear its skin.

Stop looking at me like that.

"This only reinforces my desire to kill a bear, eat it, then wear its skin." This is either the courageous and inspiring tale of Snowfox the Mountain Woman, or some kind of horrible fucked up gender reversed Silence of the Lambs.

I guess we should start farming bears. Just keep them away from the other animals.

According to the article his diet of choice might mean his fat is vile tasting since the picnic baskets often contain a large amount of junk food

Pooh is full of stuffing. He doesn't have fat at all. It makes me wonder where all the honey goes.

From experience, all carnivorous animal meat tastes pretty awful. Carnivore's shit stinks, and so does their meat. If I was a cannibal I would only eat vegetarians.

Also Trichinosis is nightmare fuel. Make sure that shit is well and truly cooked Snowfox. Cysts all through your muscles waiting to hatch so worms can burrow out through your skin next year, maybe some in your brain.

Also, bears, dogs, whales, apes, etc. That shit is too intelligent. It's probably a sin to eat it. Hell, I don't even eat squid or octopus, and that stuff is proper delicious

If the world ends, I'm eating people. Being intelligent doesn't mean they're not for dinner.

Start with the vegans, they'll taste better

Skinny people in general. I don't want to end up like the Donner party. The thinnest people and threats to my reign of terror go first, and the fattest go last so I don't get rabbit starvation.

As you can see, I've thought about this.
