Yup, taste like wild chicken. We had bear at a Russian restaurant in Helsinki last night.
Tasted like wild shite, very expensive wild shit, but they set fire to it at the table. Ended up with very expensive, burnt wild shit.

At the Helsinki airport now watching myriads of little Finnair Airbus. Like watching swarms of mosquitos. Will be flying a A319 to OSL.

Closer to "meh", I suppose. Basically expensive chicken fingers.So, a sort of "take it or leave it" kind of thing? a "meh" even?

Re: Culinary Thread
Flygirl is originally from a homestead in Alaska (no kidding) where bears are very common. Even there bears aren't hunted for food, since they're not particularly good eating. They do make bear bacon and bear ham, since the meat is of generally pork-like consistency.I suppose bears are dangerous, never met any, but they sure are expensive shit.

Re: Culinary Thread
The meat was not all that bad on taste, but some of the pieces were tougher than old Texas boots, probably due to not being matured sufficiently.Flygirl is originally from a homestead in Alaska (no kidding) where bears are very common.

I have a few hunter friends that will invite us to dinner whenever they kill some poor animal, and game need time, or so they say.
The Finnish bear was more like fresh road kill, even though it was supposed to be the best, and most expensive piece.
We've had bear paws a couple of times in China. Delicious!

Re: Culinary Thread
I had some phenomenally tasty mutton in a Mongolian restaurant in Shenyang, in northern china. Really tasty. Mutton is not fancy but the environment and the whole process was highly enjoyable. Oh, that and the -21 c temperatures. Yeah.

Re: Culinary Thread
May I go off topic and ask if anyone has good Cajun-style crayfish (crawfish) boiling recopies?
I have achieved "above average", but have yet to equal the awesome super genius crawfish cooker I encountered at a BP station in Southeast Mississippi, (Estatos Unidos del America) several years ago.
...and hopefully you are aware- this food is a spin off from rice production!

Not as dangerous as a waste of perfectly drinkable alcohol.

Re: Culinary Thread
I cooked some wild boar ribs on the Texas Smoker barbecue last week. Does that count?
I didn't take any pics of the event, but here is the venerable "pit".
Very tasty, surprisingly tender, and went rather well with the 2012 Gigondas.

Forget Cajun, boil them with dill, cool 'em, suck 'em, eat 'em and make sure you have plenty of bread and white wine. And then some more white wine, and then some cognac. Enjoy!May I go off topic and ask if anyone has good Cajun-style crayfish (crawfish) boiling recopies?

Substitute beer for your multi-alco-beverages, and hot sauce for dill, corn and potatoes for bread, and we're 95% there.
Still, it sounds as though you have not experienced the gourmet stuff sold from various obscure, sundry, roadside vendors.

I recall devouring a huge pile of them in a cheap and cheerful Louisiana eatery - no plates, or cutlery, just newspaper covering the table, and washed down with Abita amber...........stuff sold from various obscure, sundry, roadside vendors.

Much like in this article, which also contains a recipe for 3WEI recall devouring a huge pile of them in a cheap and cheerful Louisiana eatery - no plates, or cutlery, just newspaper covering the table, and washed down with Abita amber.
