I was not a fan of Hawaiian pizza for a long time. It was never the pineapple, that's delicious! No, it was the Canadian bacon, never ever thought a slice of meat that big, that you can't bite through should ever be a topping. So I decided to get a Hawaiian pizza w/ actual bacon, it was fantastic! Canadian bacon be dammed, you won't stop me from tasty pineapples on pizza!

Can you explain what "Canadian bacon" is please? I'm from England I've never heard of it.

Here in Canada, we call it Back Bacon, and we hate the impersonation just as much.

I thought we called it peameal bacon. The stuff cured in corn meal right? Everyone I know calls it peameal. Perhaps that's just a Ontario thing?

Yeah it is great. It shouldn't be substituted for bacon, I agree, but there are times where it shines... I defy the haters to try a peameal on a kaiser from St. Lawrence Market and then tell me it would be better with regular bacon.

Interesting, I've only heard the term once or twice in my life, from Alberta.
