I can tell you exactly what it looks like,picture a nice looking pork chop then smoke it and cut it thin like bacon in England we call them "Gamon Rashers" I was in touch with the American pork growers
assn in Des Moines Iowa,they said they don't do bacon that way because they make more money making pork chops than bacon,bacon is time consuming with smoking,and then to use the best cut . there you go,as usual it's all about money, the streaky bacon you use does indeed come from the belly,the chop is more like a filet.

Jerry, I honestly don't have a clue what "Canadian" bacon is ... it's a term I hear Americans use, but I have no idea. Up here regular old strip bacon is the only thing I see sold in the grocery stores as "bacon" ... which part of hog it comes from again not a clue. Thought I heard from someone once that what Americans refer to as "Canadian" bacon is a cut of pig other than what we serve up as bacon with our eggs!

OK, while I'm waitin' for supper to cook y'all got me curious ... gonna Google!

This is the only pork we know as bacon up here;


I take it this is what you Yanks call "Canadian" bacon?


Looks like what we call sliced ham! LOL!!

Newfie Steak LOL!!


Man has this topic morphed!!

Perry -

Yep, what you showed as sliced ham is what we call Canadian bacon.

Regular bacon comes from the belly of the pig, right where the navel is on a human.  Same reason it's fatty - it's the same abdominal fat I've got way too much of.

Ham is the rear part of the upper leg and butt region of the pig's hind legs.  Ever heard of the hamstring muscle in a human - that long muscle along the back of your thigh, that runs from your butt to the back of your knee?  It's the muscle that athletes often pull.  That's way it's called the hamstring.

Ham meat is fairly lean, but when cured into the ham we eat, it's full of sodium.

This is fricken hilarious ... a topic on the apparent cons of multiculturalism and here we have Americans and Canadians discussing the merits of different types of bacon! LOL!!! Wonder if any Muslim motorcyclists wanna join in on the conversation! Hey here's a thought ... if you all wanna keep most Muslims out, tell 'em that in order to come to America they gotta chow down on a big 'ol feed of bacon upon arrival!

not every day any more ,now days I might have two poached eggs and toast,I still use real butter after I found out it has the same amount of fat as margerine,or I might have a bacon sandwich,but not all together, on the other hand if I could get it I would eat it.
BTW Jerry are you getting a new Miata ?
