That is not what bacon looks like in Canada. What country are you in?

Susan, are you trying to get us to make a Canadian Bacon joke?

Hehe no, that just doesn’t look like Bacon at all to me is all. Bacon to me is almost all just the red meat, not all that fat. When I bought an entire pig before (from pig farmers up north when we lived there), the pig came in various pink butcher’s wrap. The one that said bacon, was thick and almost like a Ham steak and I didn’t like it. This kind of reminds me of that; so is this directly from a butcher (as opposed to the packaged bacon that you buy at Walmart, etc?).

I always think your bacon reminds me of what we call streaky bacon

Just had a look at Canadian bacon and it looks like back bacon with the fat cut off

I was thinking more like the bacon I see Americans mostly eat

Now I’m even more confused I’ve just seen something called Canadian bacon that looks like a slice of deli chicken

This is what I consider Bacon, looks like this:

Ahhh streaky bacon!!

I love streaky bacon but generally if you ask for bacon on your breakfast in the UK it looks more like the OP. However more fat is usually trimmed off

Oh okay =). I am not a big fan of bacon, it gives me terrible heartburn. I think this is because of my not having a gallbladder.

(Gemma) #11

That sounds about right. I do have a gallbladder but it’s dodgy and if I have gammon I’m done for, not a nice reaction

Here’s what I buy. Bacon Ends and Pieces. It looks like a pile of bacon garbage but if I slice it thinly before cooking it looks and tastes like “streaky bacon” but with a tad more fat which I like. It also has skin on it.

That’s what I would call Bacon, but Canadians are usually talking about something more like ham, and as @duckduckgoose said in America we see Canadian Bacon as disc like deli meat, thick cut usually. I would guess that your bacon Gemma isn’t salt cured or smoked like American Bacon either. It looks like pork belly. I usually see people from England posting Back Bacon. :cowboy_hat_face:

I think it looks like the bacon you had on your fat fast @David_Stilley.
It looks lovely actually, from a fat little pig :yum:

This is back bacon from the UK, but not just any old store bought stuff, proper happy organic piggy from the local farm goodness.

I do however eat streaky bacon as my regular go-to cut, love that fat/meat/fat/meat/fat layering!
