What does bear oil taste like?

[nihonniirugaijin]

Bear fat that was boiled down to oil, sometimes mixed with maple sugar, was used like ketchup by the Indians and fur traders. I don't have access to bear oil. What can I use that tastes similar to that? Thanks for any help.

Never heard of this but I'm going to look into it.

I assume it probably tastes similar to regular bear fat, but I don't access to that either.

I suspect it would probably taste similar to dipping something into the oil in a pan that's had maple sausages cooked in it, but with more maple.

Sorry, I should clarify, I'm more interested in what the taste of the bear fat itself would be similar to. I can get ahold of the maple sugar. Thanks for the replies.
