Stood around a grill with 6 guys one Sunday afternoon in Western Wisconsin feasting on grilled Black Bear meat. Everybody, w/o exception, said it was awesome, sweet, excellent.
But never had bear liver. Would love to have a pan full of bear liver w/onions (!!!).
NOTE: Pic shows good old beef liver. Have had pork liver, deer liver, squirrel liver & rabbit liver. All great (!!!).
NOTE2: Interesting the almost universal revulsion for liver with most people.
NOTE3: Frying it in bacon grease, maybe adding some chunks of green bell pepper, some good spices - OH YEAH!
Pulled out some of this Dunhill Durbar from I don't know when. Smoking it in a Peterson 80s Spigot Bulldog thinking about a gin martini with olives. You get the picture. 
2013 SPC Plum Pudding in the Sav Autograph prince with Cumberland stem that was one of my first 3 pipes.
Only liver i can do is chicken livers, sliced thin, breaded and fried. Lots of Heinz ketchup.Stood around a grill with 6 guys one Sunday afternoon in Western Wisconsin feasting on grilled Black Bear meat. Everybody, w/o exception, said it was awesome, sweet, excellent.

Burley Flake #1 in my big lattice meerschaum.
Now I know! Looks great - yeah, I can see why it has a stiffer draw. I like smoking my standard bent (in brown) the best. Thanks for posting this!
Yep, another Nording. This one, a Grade 13 filled with Frog Morton's Cellar.
1904 Barling saddle stemmed bent billiard

Ending this evening with some Brown Twist in my turquoise hawkeyed bulldog.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am half way through this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem.
2019 Capstan Blue Flake in an Altinay.
After nearly 2 weeks of sub-zero temps here in MN ... with some brutal Wind Chills ... predictions are for a jump into the 40's for the coming week.
It'll be t-shirt & shorts weather while enjoying some pipes sitting outside on the patio (!!!).
The one and only Mixture 79 in a dedicated Briarworks made to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of Bruce’s Pipe Shop in Asheville NC.
Next is another family era Barling - a saddle stemmed EXEXEL straight apple
And another VaPer - Esoterica Dunbar

Was showing a cousin part of my Baccy Cellar, with some notes on the jars listing '05, '09, '13 (etc).
Their interesting comment was, "Wow, these are so old. Will you just throw them out? They can't be good, anymore, right? Since they're so old, like cleaning out all the old, spoiled stuff from a fridge."
How do you actually explain the reality?
PS LNF from 2019 in a Kaywoodie 5153 bulldog.
Now smoking KBV Prince of Wales 2023 in a straight smooth terracotta 2014 Sherlock Holmes Baker Street bulldog with sterling silver band and a tapered black p-lip stem.
Old Joe Krantz in this here Falcon. I’ve got a meerschaum bowl coming and I can’t wait!
