"In "Everybody Eats Well in Belgium" by Ruth van Waerebeek, she suggests adding small cubes of Swiss cheese to the meat mixture and placing four thin slices of smoked bacon on top of the loaf while it bakes. This combination of flavors, including port, bacon, and mushrooms, is sure to be a hit with my youngest son."
