Canadian bacon

[Evan]

In a conversation with bdk3clash this morning I found out there's a good chance I don't know what canadian bacon is. I thought it was pretty much the same as ham (slightly different, but mistakable for one another). He told me I'm wrong, "Look, I'm Jewish so I'm not allowed to describe the differences but I"m pretty sure they're different."


So can someone explain to me the differences between canadian bacon, bacon and ham?

p.s. I looked up canadian bacon on wikipedia and it redirected me to the regular bacon page. :/

Looks like ham to me, unless its more similar to Gammon, I dont think what passes for bacon in the US is what passes as bacon in the UK neither.

i say it's the same thing. Canadian bacon is usually flat, round, and skinny ham.

The canadian bacon on totino's pizza is small chunks of ham. just my .02

"Peameal bacon is made from boneless pork loins, short cut from the leaner portions of the loin, to ensure a more uniform product. External fat is trimmed to within 1⁄8 inch. Smokeless and tender, this product is sweet pickle-cured and rolled in a traditional golden cornmeal coating, maintaining the processing tradition of real Canadian peameal bacon."

Actually, every time I've been to Canada, the bacon has been out of this world. I'm talking about 'back bacon' here not the 'ham substitute'

Maple cured, way more meat and less fat. Heavenly. Canadians probably wouldn't eat the crap we call bacon...

It maybe related but bacon in Australia is what Americans call ham

Evan, I know you like McDonalds breakfast.

Canadian Bacon is whats on the classic Egg McMuffin.

Bacon is Bacon.

Ham is (deli/roasted)Ham
