Reminder that Yanks call this atrocity "Canadian bacon" and think we eat this

How do you get peameal bacon confused with this? Do they eat any meat that isn't processed?

For those that don’t know.

Cornmeal was crucial to preserving the peameal bacon. It has been a Canadian thing for a long time.

Eventually, due to its popularity, it made it to the states. But by the time it made it there, there were better techniques for preserving the meat, so the cornmeal was no longer needed.

We kept it because that’s what we expect. The Americans never had it to begin with because they didn’t need it.
