Peameal Bacon

Cultural Context

Originating in Canada, peameal bacon is made from lean back pork loin that is wet-cured and rolled in cornmeal. Traditionally served at breakfast, it has become a beloved staple in Canadian cuisine, often enjoyed in sandwiches or alongside eggs. Its unique preparation and flavor have led to variations and adaptations, making it popular beyond Canada, especially in brunch menus worldwide.
