So next Friday I'm having a bear-b-que wherein I shall cook delicious bear. I have procured some bear meat (ribs and ground!) and will consume it with some snazzy pals.

What other wacky game meats should we eat at these festivities? How should I prepare the bear?

Also for the record, the bear meat was not wild-hunted, it is blackbear from the IL Fishing & Game coalition that is from a certain percentage of bears that cannot be rehabilitated into the wild. Some go to preserves or zoos and then a number are for slaughter, so this is totally eco-friendly bearmeat.

Don't eat Zanial :(

If I remember right the ground bear is going to be a little bit dry so you might want to mix it with a little beef so that it cooks well, if you plan on making like, bear burgers or something. The ribs I have no clue about.

Ribs are ssssoooooo gooooooood. NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM

But bearIMEANZANIAL!? Dunno.

I suggest deer to go along with the bear. As for cooking my i recommend using a smoker to "cook" and add flavor to the meat. the process does take a couple of hours but the meat will be moist. Hope that gives you some idea of what to do. I suggest also for smoking you use apple or hickory wood chips soaked in water for about 30 minutes to an hour.

I don't have nor have access to a smoker, just a grill. But I'll see what I can finagle.

It's not impossible to build your own smoker. Google it, and I guarantee you'll find plenty of how-to's using various materials.

Also, make sure that you reassemble the bear's rib cage after cooking and serve the deer inside it.

BEARBEQUEEEEE

Deer is by far the nastiest meat I have ever consumed. It was all 'veiny' and disgusting.

"This bear is too fucking crazy to be released into the wild. The only thing we can do is kill him and eat him." holy shit amazing

But wait, I thought predator animals taste gamey, isn't that why people don't usually eat them?

You can find smokers at places like Lowes or Walmart. Most places that sell grilling supplies.

Ostrich is delicious if you can find it.

I am not necessarily expecting this to be the tastiest meal ever. Just epic.

Ostrich! It's yummy.

Too slow

Alton Brown did an episode on how to make your own smoker. You can use two terracotta pots, one of those metal food warmers, a circular grill and some smoky wood chips... I am still trying to find the link.

You will absorb the strength of the bear.

Bear meat is pretty bland unless you marinate it, which is what I would recommend for the ribs. For the ground, go with the above suggestions.
