Obama doesn't eat bacon. He's a machine. He plays basketball and puts up almost 235lbs. I think I saw him in the H&F forum debating whey proteins.

We have your bacon, it's called ham.

Wrong :)

HAM :p

(in case you haven't sensed the sarcasm, I know Canadian Bacon isn't technically considered ham due to where it is cut from, but it tastes pretty damn much like ham.)

All pork products tend to have a fairly similar taste :)

remember there are 2 types of "Canadian bacon".

Peameal bacon is made from the centre-cut or rib end of the loin. It is cured in a brine containing salt and sugar, and then rolled in corn meal. It is an uncooked product, that can be sliced and grilled, or roasted whole. Canadian bacon (or 'Smoked Back Bacon' is a fully cooked and smoked product form the same cuts as peameal bacon. It is usually sliced and pan-fried or grilled.

The pic you used shows some peameal bacon which is technically a ham.
