[Sca-cooks] Medieval Bear Recipes

[nickiandme at att.net]

I had a gentleman write me and ask:

Do you have any medeval recipes using bear? I've managed to come into 
possession of a bear's leg. 

I'm unable to get to my books this week - way too busy with other commitments 
in the evening.  I will be glad to pass anything along.   

I was sure I saw a recipe for bear once in one of the German cookbooks.  I 
don't think there are any in the English ones.  

I'm afraid my biggest problem is that I don't know which countries had bear 
and which didn't in Medieval times.

Any knowledge would be useful.  

Many Thanks
