SWEET This week, it’s a battle between the two greatest seasonings of them all: salt and sugar. Thankfully, we live in a world where we can enjoy all things sweet and salty. But what if you had to choose? When put to the test, do you prefer pretzels, pizzas and pastas or do you like candy bars, cookies and cake the best? Show us your favourite food that determines whether your sweet tooth or your savoury cravings win out in the end.

It’s not often you get to eat something sweet during a main course on its own,” says Sharman. “But with pork, fruit just accents and brings out a nice flavour. It’s an opportunity to get really creative, because you can pair almost any fruit out of your fridge with pork.” From jams to fruit sauces or compotes, Sharman says not to be afraid of trying something a bit different. When she’s looking for a salty dish, it’s all about local bacon. “Bacon is my go-to. If I don’t have bacon on the weekend, I’m a little bit cranky,” Sharman jokes. “Because it’s smoked and cured, it just has that perfect hit of salt in the morning.” But it’s not just for breakfast, she says. “Bacon is a cut of meat you can eat any time of the day — breakfast, lunch and dinner.” If you’re enjoying local ingredients in your #gastropost this week, make sure to include the #tasteab tag for an extra chance to be in the paper!
