The act of eating a bear claw is tantamount to getting your face ripped off by an actual bear's claws. The name actually does the food justice. It bears an uncanny resemblance to a grizzly bear's paw, (complete with claw-like protrusions) and is delicious with a cup of coffee and a swift kick to the crotch. It is well known that the world's most successful cage fighters eat a BEAR CLAW before each match.
