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.
