I never had bear myself, but my father once had it in Helsinki in a
russian restaurant. Apparently he thought it was quite alright,
although not something he was dreaming about afterwards.

I've heard it's greatly dependent on what the bear in question has been
living off of - wild fruit and game, great, camper trash cans, not so
much. The one time I've had it, it was like very rich beef.

 I had whale in iceland. It was like a juicy, tender steak. Very, very good! I wonder if I can get bear somewhere where I am at the moment? Maybe I can find a russian restaurant, but my wife would refuse to go, so maybe not so smart after all. =/

   Whale ? SHAME !!!  :-)
   Japan alone is driving their extinction, TOO tasty !
   Too bright to eat IMHO ... feel more "moral" with
   something more stupid.
   They ARE related to pigs, which surely contributes
   to the taste.
   As for bear ... it CAN be had sometimes in the
   American west. Wyoming, Montana, that general
   area. They are hunted, but not all so much by
   and large, so it's a matter of lucky timing.
   There's also alligator in the south - surprisingly
   like chicken if cooked properly. When did reptiles
   diverge from dinos/birds ???
