    What?
    Didn't the Canadians introduce it to Hawaii?  (Thus the "Hawaiian" pizza of Canadian bacon + pineapple.)
    Actually, shouldn't a "Hawaiian" pizza have SPAM?

    I’ve never seen That stuff in a grocery store, restaurant or know anyone who eats it. I only know about it from Americans on the internet thinking that’s what Canadians consider bacon.

    Perhaps you know it as back bacon or peameal bacon.

    Yes.  It's actually cured loin and comes from the pig's back rather than belly, where regular bacon comes from.  In Canada it's called back bacon (I just read that....didn't know before now).

    Of course not. Real Canadian bacon comes from moose, eh.
