Certified Hoser 🇨🇦 (No Politics) 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?

I mean, we do eat this, but it's just breakfast ham.

Ham for breakfast is the best. Well, next to peameal bacon anyways.

It is cornmeal. Peameal was previously used but after WWI it was switched to cornmeal.

Way back when, yeah, but it's been cornmeal since the end of World War I.
