Eliezer Yudkowsky did not exactly suggest that you should eat bear fat covered with honey and sprinkled with salt flakes.
What he actually said was that an alien, looking from the outside at evolution, would predict that you would want to eat bear fat covered with honey and sprinkled with salt flakes.
Still, I decided to buy a jar of bear fat online, and make a treat for the people at Inkhaven. It was surprisingly good. My post discusses how that happened, and a bit about the implications for Eliezer's thesis.
Let me know if you want to try some; I can prepare some for you if you happen to be at Lighthaven before we run out of bear fat, and before I leave toward the end of November.
