Canadian Peameal Bacon

cowgirl · 12-13-2011, 04:00 PM

When making bacon the other day. http://bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=122086 I also made a bit of peameal bacon..

Brined cured the back loin for 8 days....

rolled in corn meal...

fried a slice for a taste test on a bisuit...

and served some as breadfast during deer camp...

you have the option to hot smoke the bacon but I like it best fried.

Thanks for looking!

That really looks good! I do believe that I'll try that

boatnut · 12-13-2011, 04:10 PM

That looks good Jeanie! I've always brined and smoked my pork loins for what I call Canadian Bacon, but I think your's is more authentic. Well....except you rolled yours in CORN meal instead of PEA meal, LOL

hamiltont · 12-13-2011, 04:14 PM

Oh ya Jeanie that look really good. Next time I make bacon I'm going to save out a couple hunks just for this. Thanks for the reminder! Cheers!!!

That looks very similar to the british bacon that I make for a bunch of expats living here in Atlanta. It looks really good, and I might have to give the cornmeal a try. Would you mind sharing your brine fecipe?

As always... Stellar!

MY---O--MY! That looks KILLER!

Jeanie... what makes it "peameal" bacon? How is it different from Canadian bacon? Looks really good, whatever it is!

That looks great.

chambersuac · 12-13-2011, 08:36 PM

Another amazing looking meal. Thanks for sharing, but now I am craving some of that.

Looks spot on to me!

It's called Peameal bacon as that's what it was originally rolled in. Corn meal is the standard these days and has been for as long as I've been around.

What you yanks call Canadian bacon is a cured and smoked pork loin. We don't see that much up here and certainly don't call it that.
Peameal bacon is very common, in fact I have a small roast of it thawing for a dinner sometime this week. You will quite often see a local service group offering up peameal bacon sandwiches as a fund raiser.

Thank you Noah! I bet your British bacon is tasty! I got the recipe from a Canadian friend http://cowgirlscountry.blogspot.com/...d-peameal.html I really love the stuff. :)

Thank you Tish! The American version of Canadian bacon is usually smoked. Canadian version of peameal bacon is pickle brine cured and is rolled in yellow peameal but cornmeal is a lot easier to use. Then it's usually sliced and fried instead of smoking. I've smoked them before but really like sliced and fried better.
I DO make the American version of Canadian bacon too... it's good stuff.

Thank you Mac!! Thanks for the info too. I really love peameal bacon sliced and fried. I can see how the sandwiches would be great for a fund raiser!
Thanks again...

Hoss · 12-13-2011, 11:15 PM

Jeanie,I wonder what would be wrong with rolling it in grits???Grits are ground corn too. We could call it whatever we wanted to!!! Your thoughts?I got it! Nitty Gritty Bacon!
