American vs. Canadian bacon
Bacon is a pork product which is commonly smoked or cured and eaten as a breakfast item. Bacon eaten in Canada, otherwise known as back bacon, is different to its American counterpart - American bacon, or streaky bacon, comes from the belly of the pig, whilst Canadian bacon comes from the pork loin. There is a difference in appearance as well as in taste, with American bacon containing a lot more fat than its leaner counterpart.
