It's called "Canadian Bacon" at McDonalds, or at least it was.
[edit]"The term "Canadian bacon" is not actually used in Canada, where the product is generally known simply as "back bacon""
This is actually false. Although it should be true, I clearly remember outrage at McDonalds (at least in Ontario) calling their bacon "Canadian bacon" and causing regular confusion. The first time I saw this was 10-11 years ago so if I can find a source or they do it again, I'll cite it.
I'm hoping someone can find a source to document this on Wikipedia, or if enough people remember this (or if they still do it, idk I don't go to McDonalds) that it can at least be put up for now. --174.89.63.32 (talk) 15:10, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
I have interchangeably called it Canadian or back or peameal bacon my entire life, as have most people I know, several restraunts and tourists places (Saint Jacobs Farmers Market off the top of my head, Canadian Bacon on a Kaiser roll with mustard). On the other hand, I have never seen it in round, circular slices like that, in Ontario it is always the more oval shape with yellow cornmeal. I also do not remember any outrage about McDonalds, but I also do not remember them ever having something resembling Canadian bacon. As Canadians we generally do not call it bacon as we mostly eat normal bacon, there for we do need something to separate it from the other types. 65.110.208.123 (talk) 21:31, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
