Do you want to spend your hard-earned dollars on products made in Canada? Even better, do you want to buy local? If the answer to these questions is YES, then the next thing in your grocery basket should be some peameal bacon! Peameal bacon was originally developed by a Toronto ham and bacon curer, William Davies. His company would eventually become today’s Maple Leaf Foods. Historically, it is hard to find many foods that you can say originated in Canada and it doesn’t get more local. In fact, peameal bacon is soooo Canadian (how Canadian is it?) it is known throughout the world as Canadian bacon. Here are a some more interesting things about peameal bacon: 🐷 Peameal bacon can eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner, served in slices or as an ingredient in a pork dish. 🐷 The name peameal comes from the dried yellow peas that were ground into meal and packed around the meat to preserve it in the Victorian era. 🐷 Peameal bacon is much leaner than regular bacon. The brining process makes it nearly impossible to overcook and it’s both leaner and juicer than regular bacon. 🐷 Cooked peameal bacon can be kept in a freezer with a temperature of 0° F or less for up to one year (not that it will last that long before it’s eaten!) There is a great local sale at Lococo’s on their Sweet Pickled Pork Back (peameal style) for $2.99/lb. And we have a fantastic recipe for your peameal bacon meal: Club Sandwich with Ham, Tomato, Cheese and ZEG sauce Just substitute peameal bacon for the ham and you will have a sandwich bursting with Canadian local flavour!
