Reminds me of Americans obsessing over “Canadian bacon” and showing me pictures of slabs of ultra processed meat that I’ve never seen before in my life. Closest we’ve got is back bacon and that’s leagues above the crap they call “Canadian” bacon.
“Canadian bacon” is peameal bacon right? That shit’s delicious but while I’ve always assumed that’s what Americans meant by Canadian bacon, I’ve never been sure
edit: oh yeah I’m completely wrong and have never seen anything like that really
“Canadian bacon” is just ham, but we only call it that when it’s on a pizza. I have no idea why it’s called that. I prefer to just call it “ham”, but I have had pretty mixed results when trying to order “ham” on a pizza.
Canadian bacon comes from the back (as in, near the back bone) of the pig. Ham comes from the other back (as in, the butt)… Which isn’t to be confused with the pork butt (also called pork shoulder) from the front, typically used for pulled pork.

edit 2: okay there’s some truth to my original comment. Peameal bacon is the best and everyone who eats meat should try it
