    I don’t think that applies in a broad sense if you include fish , but everything I know about bear meat says that you have to cook the shit out of it specifically to kill the many parasites that the bear’a immune system keeps at bay (but doesn’t completely destroy) while it’s alive. Eating rare bear meat is incredibly stupid.

      Eating any rare wild game is stupid.

      You’re eating a wild animal, you have no idea what it’s been eating, drinking, or rolling around in. Cook the hell out of it.

      Last time I made elk, I slow cooked it for like 8 hours. It was fall apart tender, but it had been in boiling broth for many hours. You can make delicious meals with wild game, you just have to cook it right.
