Cooking class experience — learning Peameal Bacon properly

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Peameal Bacon correctly. The instructor explained why wild blueberry is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The sweet and savoury from maple result when you make it yourself is different.

maple syrup production is a seasonal Quebec ritual celebrated at family sugar shacks. We learned how a prairie farm breakfast shapes the way this dish is eaten. The class ended with the meal and a glass of Nanaimo bar dessert. I've made it three times since and each time it improves. Highly recommend the cooking class approach.
