A number of modern recipe books for hunters give recipes for bear; some say
to cook it like pork. Some also say that it's like pork in another way: it
can carry trichinosis. So cook it well.
The Menagier de Paris frustratingly mentions eating bear, but only to tell
the reader how to counterfeit it:
"To Counterfeit Bear Venison from a Piece of Beef. Take flank, and let it
be chopped in large chunks as for loin stew, then parboil, lard and roast:
and then boil a boar's tail_[69]_
(http://old.cbbqa.org/history/primary/Menagier.html#fn68) , and let your meat boil a little, and throw sauce and all
in a dish."
Pichon's note says that "boar's tail" was a sauce.
