Restaurant review — Peameal Bacon that actually delivered

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Peameal Bacon well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The rich and indulgent base was authentic and the use of maple syrup showed real knowledge. poutine emerged from Quebec rural diners in the 1950s and became Canada's most in…

Spice level warning — Peameal Bacon is not what I expected

I underestimated Peameal Bacon. The rich and indulgent description didn't prepare me for the reality. wild blueberry brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating. poutine emerged from Quebec rural diners in th…

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 encou…

Underwhelming Peameal Bacon — expected more

I was looking forward to Peameal Bacon here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The sweet and savoury from maple character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with Arctic char or from scaling up production at the expense of quality. maple syrup product…

Best Peameal Bacon I've had — and I've tried a few

Having eaten Peameal Bacon at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The sweet and savoury from maple quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. Arctic char is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference. This is proper an east…

Peameal Bacon exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Peameal Bacon made with real commitment to peameal bacon and technique. The rich and indulgent result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before. poutine emerged from Quebec rural diners in the 19…

Pairing Peameal Bacon correctly — a note on Nanaimo bar dessert

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Peameal Bacon. I ordered it with Nanaimo bar dessert and the fresh and clean elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. peameal bacon in particular became more prominent in a good way. poutine emerged from Quebec rural dine…

Peameal Bacon for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Peameal Bacon for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The comforting and familiar profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced peameal bacon used that way before. maple syrup production is a seasonal Quebec…
