Actually, Canadian bacon is ham - I lived in Canada for several years as a small child, and that's what all Canadians call it - and it is. Bacon is cured and smoked meat from the rib cage of the hog. Ham is what we'd call the pig's "hip" or "thigh"
I was born in Canada, and had lived there for 8 years. I had Bacon every moring, and my mom had a special way to make it. We had to read the Nutrition Facts on the back to see if it would be fine for me. And I saw ingredients. I had asked the same question! "Is Canadian Bacon Ham?" I compared 2 things. Bacon, and Canadian Bacon. Same Thing! I Know The Answer, and You Cant Change It! Im Pure Canadian!!!!!
The area of the pig the meat comes from and the curing process.

Canadian bacon isn't ham. Canada Bacon is pretty much just regular bacon.

Canadian bacon is similar to ham in that it comes from the pork loin, but it is leaner and more mildly flavored. It is typically cured and smoked before being sliced and used in cooking.
Its not real bacon.. in some ways. It is actually just American ham just cooked more, and is greasier.
The question should be, 'Is it ham, or is it bacon'.
food. and a lame excuse for bacon which is true, its just ham.
It is called this, simply because we use the same principle of cooking ham the way Canadians did. They call it Back Bacon, while we refer to the same technique as Canadian bacon. Sometimes it is called Irish bacon.
they come from different parts of the animal

Canadian bacon, also known as back bacon, is made from the pork loin, which is a lean and tender cut of meat. Its taste is similar to ham because both are made from pork, but Canadian bacon is typically less salty and has a milder flavor. Additionally, the processing and curing methods used to make Canadian bacon can contribute to its ham-like taste.
some canadian foods are mac n cheese, canadian bacon, which is basically american ham.
