There seems to be a lot of confusion about it. The stuff that I bought
that was labelled Canadian Bacon was cured and smoked. It is a good
thing that I got some and tried it because I never saw it again. Since
that time I have seen it Canadian Bacon on cooking shows and articles
about it that are actually calling it Canadian Bacon.
Let's just say don't come to Canada for Canadian Bacon. It doesn't exist
here and people will think you are talking about peameal.
