Where does it fit into the bacon discussion? Is it better than turkey bacon?

    It's ham and no one can tell me otherwise.

    From differencebetween.net, a 100% credible interweb site:

    "Canadian bacon is gotten from the loin cut that runs along the back of the pig whereas ham is gotten from the primal cut that includes the leg, butt, and shank. Ham is gotten in diced chunks, slices, and whole form. On the other hand, Canadian bacon is gotten in sliced form only.

    When ham contains honey or sugar, Canadian bacon does not contain any of these. Now looking at the calorie content, the Canadian bacon contains fewer calories than ham. Moreover, Canadian bacon is lower in carbohydrates and cholesterol than ham. Canadian bacon also has more protein content than ham. Meanwhile, ham contains more sodium than Canadian bacon. Unlike Canadian bacon, ham contains more Vitamin C and calcium."

    I honestly don't understand why Americans call breakfast ham "Canadian bacon" It's really weird to us Canadians...

    Like I said, no one can tell me different.

    If it's on my pizza, I pick it off. No reason to ingest calories from sources that I deem are sub-par. :grumble:

    I'm going to start calling Lebanese food, American food because apparently that's how it works...

    If it wasn't for the Egg McMuffin, no American would even know what Canadian Bacon even is.

    I think it's a lot better name. It doesn't get your hopes up thinking you are getting some kind of delicious bacon only to be handed a slice of ham.

    They call it Taylor Ham in Jersey. Well, Taylor ham looks like Canadian Bacon.

    I like Canadian Bacon/Ham. It's really good and a healthier choice.

    I still eat regular bacon. I'm not a savage after all.

    I like Canadians, too. Je t'aime bien Canada.
