Irish bacon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Irish bacon is traditionally prepared from brined, center cut boneless porkloin. It is much leaner than American bacon. It is sometimes called back bacon. Today, it is available from a variety of commercial sources.
- Canadian bacon is often referred to as back bacon.
- According to the History Channel [1], while cabbage has long been a traditional food item for the Irish, corned beef serving as a substitute for Irish bacon first became traditional in the late 1800s. Irish immigrants living in New York City's Lower East Side sought an equivalent in taste and texture to their traditional Irish bacon, and learned about this cheaper alternative to bacon from their Jewish neighbors.
