About National Canadian Bacon Day
United States
Ends: Mar 03, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
This is another one of those confusing foods with multiple origin stories. It's one of these two.
Option one—National Canadian Bacon Day celebrates Canadian bacon, an American deli-style smoked round or oval-shaped ham that is leaner than belly strip bacon ("steaky" in Brit) and does not require cooking. This style (commonly found alongside pineapple on pizza) has nothing to do with Canada besides its name.
Option two—since this event was created by the producers of America's largest Bacon Festival (annually in Des Moines, Iowa), which attracts global bacon connoisseurs, it is more likely it celebrates the original Canadian style bacon, a wet-cured pork loin from the back, rolled in crushed cornmeal and fried called Peameal bacon, a Canadian breakfast delicacy.
Created in Toronto, Canada (and a reason for the city's nickname "Hogtown"), Peameal is trimmed of all fat, soaked in brine, juicy, and much lower in fat and cholesterol than the pork belly strips of traditional bacon. It looks more like the tenderloin with a yellow halo. Peameal bacon must be cooked as it isn't cured.
Peameal bacon sandwiches are the official sandwich of Toronto (just like Cheesesteaks are the official sandwich of Philadelphia); if you want to try the original, drop into the Carousel Bakery at Toronto's Saint Lawrence Market.
Origin story one or two? Nobody said this would be logical. Therefore, you win if you choose to celebrate National Canadian Bacon Day with US-named Canadian bacon that isn't Canadian or bacon or with Canadian peameal bacon, which isn't bacon but it is Canadian. Enjoy!
