I've eaten a lot of bear meat over the years. Usually in some sort of grind. Burger, peperoni, jerky, breakfast sausage, summer sausage, choriso, etc. Because of it's "greasy" nature, it tends to lend itself well to the grinder. You get a sticky ground meat that takes little addition of pork fat to make it any stickier.

As far as taste, it ranks up there with elk and venison.
