      1    Peameal Bacon, 1 centre cut              -piece
 
  "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."
  
  Place in an open roasting pan, fat side up. Bake at 350F degrees for 1- 1/2
  hours. Serve hot in generous slices with baked beans if desired.
