No, this is not another Ursula thread, but in medieval Poland bear paws in sour cherry sauce was considered a delicacy. There is no recipe, but to make sour cherry sauce sweet, I'd use sugar. In the middle ages there was no cane or beet sugar, so the sweetener must have been honey.

RUN URSULA!! Gunnar wants to eat you!! This has nothing to do with Ursula, and European Brown Bear is the only species in Poland (now and in historical times). |

European Brown Bear (in Poland, Russia including Siberia and elsewhere) is probably the same species as the Grizzly, and closer related to polar bears than any black ones, whether they be American or Asian.

European Brown Bear is ursus arctos in "scentific", which is a strange mix of Latin and Greek. Ursula is derived from the Latin ursus, and also exists as a girl's name in Danish and Polish (Urszula, eg. the name of tennis player Urszula Radwa%C5%84ska pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urszula_Radwa%C5%84ska), but the male form "Urs" is only found in German. The Greek word arktos has evolved into arctic, which means "northern", because the constellation ursa major, the Great Bear, is roughly situated to the north. |
