Back Bacon

Cultural Context

Back bacon, often referred to as Canadian bacon, has its roots in the culinary traditions of Canada, where it is made from the leaner part of the pork loin. Traditionally, it was rolled in cornmeal, giving it a distinctive flavor and texture. This dish is a staple in Canadian breakfasts, often served with eggs and toast. Today, it is enjoyed in various forms across North America and has even found its way into brunch menus worldwide, celebrated for its savory taste and versatility.
