Yes ... made with real bacon, not that Canadian knock-off stuff.

Yes, that's why they named it after us.

We invented bacon.

That's right

Lol not sure I could find anything labelled "Canadian Bacon" in any grocery around here. Maybe special request from our American butcher. lol

Hey you guy up north, can't you raise pigs at least taste good from the bacon side of life. Seriously, your pork from Canada is tasteless.

As tasteless as their hockey teams of late.
Both stink.

Until recently I lived in NC, could not find pig femur or neck bones until I moved to SC. Really the only way to get a proper tonkotsu broth.

Isn't it called "peameal bacon" or something like that?

I've seen it in the stores over by London, just don't remember exactly what it was called..."peameal" something or other.

As I recall it was some pretty good stuff too! My parents used to have a place over by Sarnia and I used to love going over there to get some of that stuff. It was like a salty-sweet ham with peameal on it.

Yessir, that's one form of it.

Basically just Ham coated in "Peameal". Very salty, yet kinda sweet.

It's good, but I'll never trade my maple smoked bacon strips for anything.

We call it Back-bacon or Peameal.

Only American's call it Canadian Bacon.

The term actually originated in New York.

Quit making things up.

Back Bacon

I'm willing to bet you ate a #ty american version of "Canadian bacon," which, as many others have said, is not Canadian bacon.

a reply to: joejack1949

How about just a #ty version, period.

The American versions are no more #ty than the #ty Canadian versions!

a reply to: MykeNukem

Whatever it is, it's not as good.

Part of the magic of bacon is the fat you get from it. And your stuff is made from lean meat which, by definition, lacks the fat. The fat is where much of the flavor is packed and that fat when rendered out spreads the magic through a dish. Give yourself lean bacon and you lose that fat.

As an internet expert on Canada and bacon, please let me explain.

Canadian pigs (spelled piugs) are fed a strict diet of poutine and maple syrup. Maple is also spelled "Mauple" in Canada.

While American pigs, also known as Freedom pigs are fed a diet of freedom and beer.

I'm going to disagree.

"Canadian Bacon" aka peameal bacon

Americans seem to think that round slices of processed ham is Canadian bacon. We have pork belly too, or streaky bacon, or just bacon.
