Family and notebook notes

Bear requires special attention to trichinellosis; historical browning and oven times do not establish safe internal doneness. The user has not eaten this family recipe.

This is an archival transcription of historical cooking rather than a validated contemporary preparation, processing, food-safety or storage guide.
