“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.
