Otherwise known as peameal bacon. They are sweet pickled pork loins
rolled in cornmeal. (They used to be rolled in ground yellow peas,
hence the name but are now almost always rolled in cornmeal).
Our neighboUrs to the South often call it Canadian Bacon.
Since there is little to no fat marbling, it can be quite dry if
overcooked.
It is quite cheap right now because there is a major glut of pork
products on the Ontario market.
