You would think that since I am Canadian I would know what Canadian bacon is. Is this ham or bacon???

I always thought it was Ham

It LOOKS like ham...and TASTES like ham....so I THINK it's ham.... I would not classify it as bacon.

LOL Kate!

One of the recipes I got in my Christmas Brunch post calls for Canadian Bacon and I needed to know what it was before going to do my grocery shopping at midnight (it 24 hours and the crowd won't be bad then )

It's ham, but usually on the aisle with the delimeat, pepperoni, and stuff like that.

Another question....

If it LOOKS like ham and TASTES like ham....why not call it HAM??????

You guys are funny! It's ham.

I think in Canada it is called, “peameal bacon”. Canadian bacon is an American term/name. It is ham slices, not traditional breakfast bacon. It is like football and soccer..

Yes, it's peameal bacon. You can buy it sliced or in a long piece, and it's coated with cornmeal. It's very salty, and it's pretty expensive.
