    What do they call Canadian bacon in Canada?

    Question #115410. Asked by star_gazer. (Jun 20 10 10:23 PM)


    Zbeckabee

    		In Canada:

    The term bacon on its own refers generically to strip bacon from the belly meat of the pig, which is the most popular type of bacon sold in Canada.
    The term back bacon is used interchangeably to describe either smoked or unsmoked back bacon.
    The term peameal bacon is a variety of unsmoked back bacon which historically was brined and rolled in a meal made from ground yellow peas. Today, fine cornmeal is more commonly used as a coating.
    Canadian bacon, meaning back bacon, is not in common parlance amongst Canadians.

    		Canadian bacon, meaning back bacon, is not in common parlance amongst Canadians.

    The term Canadian Bacon or Canadian-style bacon must be made from the pork loin, and means back bacon, but this term refers usually to the lean ovoid portion (m. longissimus, or loineye). It also can be made from the sirloin portion of the loin (gluteal muscles), but must be labeled appropriately. Similar products made from the ham are used as less expensive substitutes.
