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!!!!!

Here in Canada it's called back bacon not Canadian Bacon. Unlike strip bacon which is made from the pig's belly, it is made from the pork loin, either the lean ovoid portion or sirloin portion of the loin. Sometimes ham is used and misrepresented as back bacon as ham is cheaper.
