bacon = American bacon = streaky bacon (British) Pronunciation: BAY-kuhn Notes: Bacon is a very fatty slab taken from the underside of a pig. The bacon sold in markets is usually cured and smoked, but it's also possible to buy uncured fresh bacon = pork belly = side pork. Smoked bacon is often fried and served with eggs or in sandwiches, or it's sometimes wrapped around lean meats to keep them moist while they're cooking. Substitutes: turkey bacon (less fat, doesn't shrink as much as regular bacon) OR vegetarian bacon OR imitation bacon bits OR smoked ham ORCanadian bacon (leaner) OR pancetta ORsalt pork (in sauces) OR smoked sausage OR ham OR fatback (for barding)

Canadian bacon = back bacon = bacon (British) Notes: Canadian bacon tastes like ham and is much leaner than American bacon. It's made from pork loin that's been smoked and cured. Note that Irish bacon is also sometimes called back bacon. Substitutes: Irish bacon ORham OR pancetta OR bacon (not as lean)

Funny I am Canadian and here, to my knowledge we just have bacon and pemeal bacon (and then of course the turkey bacon and all of those healthy alternatives - YUCK - ). I have no idea what "Canadian Bacon" is, if I have seen it in the grocery store I never noticed. Strange.

Here it is usually sold in the refrigerated section next to the pepperoni as we use it on Pizza a lot.

Thanks, I look the next time at the store. I feel stupid for being a Canadian and not knowing this. However, I will not lose sleep over it.

In the grocery stores where I shopped in the States, they always had peameal bacon labelled as "Canadian bacon".
