Apparently. I've never heard of people eating bear penises until I saw
this. I've, however, heard of people eating bear palms as a delicacy.
The teacher who told me about bear palms also said that apart from being
rare and expensive, there's really nothing special to it. A quick search
on the Internet turned up more mentions of bear penises than bear palms.
I guess some people do eat them.

I think people who pay $24,500 for a meal like that are really doing it
mostly as an overt display of wealth and to satisfy their egos.
