haha.. you guys eat canadian bacon and think that's good bacon. no wonder. at least according to the wiki.

Though, canadian bacon tends to be more normalized as well. . and less varied in shape.

basically eating fried ham cut real thin.

Well at least its meat. As opposed to eating fried fat strips with side bacon :D

if we want fried ham, we cook fried ham. Though, i'd probably go with pork roll vs straight fried ham.

pork roll is pretty localized to new jersey though. Think like a spiced 4-5 inch wide lean sausage type thing ... similar to bologna but only in probably how it looks uncooked. not in makeup or flavor or anything else.

cut in circles...thinly usually... fried like bacon.
 
though, i can see why you are eating your bacon straight ...
other than the potential sodium from curing...it's just basically ham.

us bacon is more of a garnish because of it's fat content. We dont eat it straight unless you hate your body.
 
This is bacon...

It goes in sandwiches, rolls, is finger food and occasionally accompanies liver...

Still a piece of pig...

That's a boneless pork chop looking thing. you can cut it thin and fry it and say it's bacon. but it's canadian bacon. ..and generally tastes no different than any fried ham cut thin.

this is basically real bacon. Significantly different from the flavor and texture of ham to be it's own thing.. And it will result in your early death if you dont respect it.
 
why would there be variation? that's like saying that a cut of steak has no variation. it's a cut of steak. it exists because of it's cut.

bacon comes from slabs that are about the thickness of how wide bacon is (in the us). you then slice it vertically ...that's how each one comes out the same width across. Because the original cut is a given thickness.
It's just "slabs" of pork belly, no? Proper bacon is a cut that actually includes some meat, as well as the belly :D
