Veknitsa od mesa (Serbian meat loaf)
This is made in a similar fashion to English and French terrines, but without the hassle of compacting the meat once it is out of the oven. In the cyrillic alphabet, this spelt 'векница од меса'.

Chef's notes
I would suggest you bash the streaky bacon with a meat mallet first.
Follow the RSPCA Think Pig Checklist to make sure that your pork has come from pigs that have been reared to higher welfare standards.
