"Canadian Bacon," is Peameal and we don't call it Peameal BACON; just Peameal.

It is the Pork back (loin), thus a pork chop without the bone, wrapped in a layer of polenta (cornmeal, actually an Italian dish, but you guys down south make, "grits," which is the same thing, basically).

It is smoked and cured in the *exact* same way belly bacon is smoked and cured, hence the, "Bacon," moniker it sometimes gets, but we only call it Peameal and if someone else from Canada tells you otherwise, then they need to work on their lexicon (like how MANY Canadian call Walleye, "Pickerel;" that one pisses me off to high hell).

Vote for the good guys, people!

Well, peameal is different, even, then what Americans typically know as "Canadian bacon." What is called Canadian bacon, here, is back bacon without the peameal additions. Most Americans don't know the differences in sources for their bacon on the pig. I, myself, am a side meat man. It's meatier, but still has some of the fat. This is what I have known to be referred to as plain bacon in Canada, as well, though I typically just get it uncut. I'm not as much of a fan of belly bacon.

Also, calling walleye, pickerel, is almost as bad as people around here calling bluegills and other small sunfishes, perch.

Fish and pigs, two topics I excel with.
