Canadian bacon: The lean, boneless rib-eye of a pork loin that has been cured and smoked.

In flavor, appearance, and texture, Canadian bacon is closer to ham than it is to bacon. The meat is lean, slightly sweet, and juicy. Unlike regular bacon, Canadian bacon is not meant to be cooked to a crisp, but rather soft and juicy. It is usually served in round slices, slightly thicker than conventional bacon.
