Making bacon.. Part 2
« Reply #-1 on: January 21, 2012, 09:40:55 PM »
I got bit by the homemake bacon bug... made belly bacon (streaky bacon for those of you up north or in the UK) so I thought I'd do the American version of Canadian bacon (real Canadian bacon is "peameal bacon" because it's rolled in cornmeal before frying). It used to be rolled in crushed dried peas hence the name.

Although you can dry-cure the bacon, the authentic version calls for a wet brine.
