A maker of pancetta and other meats there teamed up with a chef from Le Meridien, a hotel chain. The resulting recipe are really fabulous, and the photos are mouthwatering. Here's this one, for a taste. You can see the rest here:

That sounds absolutely fabulous. Sweet and smoky and a little bitter; count me in!

Those look great, and spooky similar to a roasted corn and bacon relish I've made three times in the past two weeks. Not only do they both have bacon, but sage, too!
