Pecan nuts to go with starters of tenderloin terrine and cured pork (8)

'cured pork' is the definition.
'pancetta' can be an answer for 'pork' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'cured' bit.

'pecan nuts to go with starters of tenderloin terrine' is the wordplay.
'nuts' indicates an anagram (nuts can mean crazy).
'to go' becomes 'a' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'starters of' says to take the initial letters.
The first letters of 'tenderloin terrine' is 'tt'.
'pecan' anagrammed gives 'pance'.
'pance'+'a'='pancea'
'pancea' going around 'tt' is 'PANCETTA'.

'and' acts as a link.
