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.

∙ 13y agoCanadian bacon (aka Irish or back bacon) is probably more appropriately called "Canadian-style bacon". Many people call it ham because it is a pork loin that has been cured and smoked so it ends up with a texture similar to ham.
The brine used to make Canadian-style bacon is different from that generally used to make ham, so the flavor should be different.
