📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Peameal bacon is a uniquely Canadian bacon: cured pork loin rolled in cornmeal. It was named for the dried ground peas (peameal) it was once rolled in. At Toronto's historic St. Lawrence Market, a sandwich of thick slices fresh off the griddle tucked into a bun is a signature.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a morning at Toronto's St. Lawrence Market, at the front of a long line, thick hot bacon is tucked into a kaiser roll, spread with mustard, and handed over.
