Why Peameal Bacon deserves more attention

Peameal Bacon rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The rich and indulgent complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using wild blueberry correctly takes real skill.

maple syrup production is a seasonal Quebec ritual celebrated at family sugar shacks. I encountered it first in a Montreal poutinerie and that context helped me understand it properly. Canadian rye whisky is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Peameal Bacon is the dish to start with.
