treeseed commented on the word bear claw
A bear claw is a sweet breakfast food, popular in the United States. It is an almond-flavored, yeast-raised pastry shaped in a large, irregular semicircle with slices around the outside, evoking the shape of a bear's claw. Bear claws often contain almond paste or raisins.
