Back bacon is amazing. We even put it on burgers up here

When my US SO visited me in the UK, her comment was "I like your bacon, your bacon has meat"

I can hear the Canadians screaming for this for here in Australia.

We call it back bacon

"Canadian bacon" is specifically those circle slices like they put on Egg McMuffins. In fact McD's is the only place I've ever seen it.

As a Canadian: Canadian bacon is just disappointment. I just want the normal stuff
AndrewCanadian
Close enough.

That's real peameal bacon! What the Americans call "Canadian bacon" is just sad. And isn't Canadian in any way.

in Canada, they call it "here bacon."

Canadian bacon isn't Canadian. It is a lie.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Yep, it's an American invention. I've never seen it in Canada.

Back Bacon or Peameal Bacon are the same thing. Widely available in Ontario.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
What the Americans call "Canadian bacon" is different from what Canadians call "back bacon/peameal bacon". They make it from back bacon, /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
but it's a circular cut from the middle of the loin. They cut all the fat and everything off. Look at the first two pictures in this wiki /2
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
link, the first one is what Canadians eat, called back or peameal bacon (if it's rolled in meal). The second one is what Americans mean /3
JayDeeDubs
Back/pea meal bacon aren't the same as what's called Canadian bacon in the US. Close, but not the same.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
This. The thing called Canadian bacon is an American invention that Canadians don't have.

Canadian bacon served in America is usually terrible, if you make it yourself its awesome. Essentially you treat Ham as if its Pork belly
SillyZombie
Had this for lunch today on a bun with bbq sauce
thevortexmaster
Ham is specifically leg. Back bacon (Canadian) is cured loin
SillyZombie
Whoops I switched them around cause im dumb. ALL BACON MATTERS, Ham, Loin, Shoulder, Belly. ALL OF IT

I'm from Toronto, and we call this "peameal bacon"
IamTOOOLDforThisShite
back bacon on a bun at the St Lawrence Market.
thevortexmaster
No, peameal bacon is rolled in corn meal. That's back bacon
AutismVaccine
I didn't say that's what it is, I said that's what we call it.
IamTOOOLDforThisShite
Right. But it's peameal/back bacon that Americans call "Canadian".
thevortexmaster
Yup
thevortexmaster
Originally it was rolled in yellow split peas
thevortexmaster
Canadian is called back bacon in Canada and it's barely eaten here
IamTOOOLDforThisShite
Guess you've never been to the St Lawrence Market. /2

peameal bacon and back bacon are different tho
IamTOOOLDforThisShite
Peameal bacon is back bacon that’s been coated in corn meal. The meat is the same.
thevortexmaster
Okay, barely anyone eats it in BC, Alberta, Yukon or NWT. That's where I've lived as a chef for 30 years. Outside of that I could be wrong
ATATtightropeWalker
thevortexmaster I agree with you. It isn't common. I eat it MAYBE once a year (From Ottawa and GTA).
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
That's more of a touristy thing. I think back/peameal bacon was more popular with older generations, but you don't see it so much anymore.
IamTOOOLDforThisShite
It’s available in grocery stores. It’s sometimes offered in lieu of strip bacon where breakfast is served. Less common but it’s around.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
What the Americans call Canadian bacon is very specifically that circle-shaped cut from the loin. Then it's sliced. The meat in Egg /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
McMuffins is "Canadian bacon". Other than at McD's, we don't have it at all in Canada. Normal back bacon is the whole loin, not just that /2
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
circle. That's an American thing that they call Canadian bacon for some reason. /3
IamTOOOLDforThisShite
“we don’t have it at all”??? How then have I bought it at supermarkets and been served it in restaurants?
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I'm not talking about peameal bacon or back bacon. I'm talking about the specific preparation called "Canadian bacon". Where are you /1
IamTOOOLDforThisShite
Maybe you'd better define what you imagine is the difference between "Canadian bacon" and back bacon. Seems like two names for one product.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
buying it? It's not in Loblaws, Metro, Sobeys. Back bacon, yes. "Canadian bacon", no. /2
