Canadian bacon is the name of certain cuts of
lean meat taken from the back of a
pig. In the
United States, the meat commonly known as Canadian bacon is simply a lean cut of back
bacon, closely resembling
ham in flavor and appearance, while in
Canada it is traditionally unsmoked back bacon that has been sweet pickle
cured and coated in yellow
cornmeal; this variation is also known as
peameal bacon, because in times past a mixture of ground yellow
peas was used for coating to improve curing and shelf-life.
