    Peameal Bacon is similar to Canadian Bacon. It is cured but not smoked.


    The term peameal comes from the ground yellow peas with which the bacon was originally coated. This ensured better curing and shelf life and avoided bacterial problems. Over the years this tradition was changed to cornmeal, due to the availability of corn.
