Back bacon comes from the loin in the middle of the back of the pig. It is a lean meaty cut of bacon, relatively less fat compared to the streaky bacon.
I was wondering what the SMART CHART was - it looks to me like some label on a sunscreen lotion that indicates "UVA", "UVB", "SPF30". Why on earth is the pig smeared with sunscreen?? And why does this bacon restrict itself to "PG" (Parental Guidance) rating of 13?:O
OK, after much probing (otherwise known as kay-poh-ing about the bacon I bought), I found that
GF: GLUTEN FREE
DF: DAIRY FREE
SF: SOY FREE
P13: P is PROTEIN; 13, is grams of protein (13) per serving
Ham-like texture and flavor
Have you tried Canadian bacon and do you like it? How have you used them in your cooking?

ReplyDeleteI love canadian bacon in eggs benedict, quiche, and in paninis with lots of melted cheese! :)
I love bacon...not just Canadian...it's international for me! Hahaha....
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it is the same as gammon here. The texture looks the same.
ReplyDeleteWow ... very informative. I wouldn't have known what the labels are for.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if I can get Canadian Bacon here. I usually just eat Bacon with bread. Or I cook it with rice noodle and dry scallops :)
looks very lean indeed..towards ham and not bacon like..
ReplyDeleteyummm!..bacon and eggs..
I like my Canadian bacon with pineapple on Hawaiian pizza. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a good description on the parts of bacon. I go for the lean but usually much more expensive
ReplyDeleteheee you're funny! good thing you looked up all those labels which i didn't know either.
ReplyDeleteyou know i don't eat a lot of bacon/ham/canadian bacon, so i couldn't come up with anything, though i know they're good with egg mcmuffin :D
Oh man, this will taste so good in fried rice with eggs & frozen vegetable to me. ;P
ReplyDeleteooo =) thanks for the info. never knew tt...
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves back bacon and fried onion sandwiches for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI like this kind of bacon, and hopefully they are not too salty as well...
ReplyDeleteLove the sunscreen comment! (lol). I've had Canadian bacon once and that was such a long time ago. Can't remember what it tasted like.

ReplyDeleteeast meets west, yes yes...I think canadian bacon is perfect in benedicts :)
wmw, I know what you mean! I like to nibble on fried streaky bacon too :p
judy, gammon sounds like ham to me...and reminds me of Christmans.
wilfrid, I did not know either, till I checked them out.
"joe", oh yes....I thought they really look like ham and they do taste like ham too.
wandering chopsticks, hmmm....I think I'm going to keep this idea till I make pizza again! Thks!
fruit species, I think you are right. Just like lean ground beef, much more expensive than the normal ground beef :(
