IIRC, Enrique de Villena (mid 1400s) discusses the consumption of bear in 
northern Spain.  He says that only peasants and laborers eat it.

Also IIRC, bears and pigs are somewhat related taxonomically, which might 
explain the sweetish taste of the flesh.  Or it could just be the diet of 
the individual bear.
