Baked Peameal Bacon
Peameal bacon is a unique Canadian meat, pickled but unsmoked
loin of pork rolled in cornmeal. Usually it is sliced and
fried for breakfast but it excellent baked whole. The cornmeal
makes a crisp exterior and the meat, although quite lean,
is particularly juicy, because of the pickling process. For
baking it is important to select a piece from the centre cut,
with a wide band of lean visible on both ends.

Bow Ties with Sweet Potatoes and Canadian Bacon
Bow-tie pasta with slices of sweet potato, diced Canadian
bacon, and tomato puree forms a harmonious dish of varied
flavors, shapes, and colors. To match the sweetness of both
the potato and the Canadian bacon, try a kabinett riesling
from Germany's Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region, as a wine recommendation.

Canadian Bacon and Mozzarella Penne
Hot red-pepper flakes offer a pleasant contrast to mild mozzarella
and salty Canadian bacon. To turn this into a satisfying vegetarian
pasta, just leave out the bacon. A crisp red wine based on
the barbera grape will be heavenly with this spicy, tomatoey
sauce.

Canadian Bacon, Potato, and Swiss-Chard Gratin
Grated Gruyθre cheese melts among ribbons of leafy Swiss chard
and slices of Canadian bacon and potato. The dish is baked
until the cheese on top is a crusty golden brown. Merlot would
be a marvelous choice to accompany this hearty dish. The wine
has a fair amount of tannin, but that's easily handled by
the bacon and cheese, which will accentuate the merlot's flavor.
