Well this thread has taken off pretty well! I'm going to concede to the greater pork product experts on the differences between ham and ham-like products. I do agree about the different textures, especially between deli style and others (I prefer country style- salty, not sweet.) Told the wife about this thread last night, so off we went for pizza- Pepperoni, ham, beef, onions, and green bell peppers, thin crust and mozzarella. Topped it off with a nice garden salad and some fresh baked garlic bread sticks. Sugars were a little high this morning, but man was it good . Nothing else would have done. I guess I'll have to look for a breakfast pizza.


On the subject of anchovies- I have had them on pizza before. Didn't mind them, but not an ingredient of choice. I remember it tasting quite salty, but not fishy. We watched a cooking show the other night where they processed up raw chicken livers and added them to a stew just before it finished cooking. When they tasted it they said you couldn't really feel or taste the livers, but that it was like anchovies- you don't notice them, but you would if they weren't there.

It sounds like you have never had back bacon.(peameal bacon). Yes, ham and back bacon both come from pigs, in that sense they are similar. The texture is definitely different. I think you need to buy better back bacon. lol. Ham is generally smoke, and back bacon is brined, so the taste is different as well.

It's cut from the same area, just a different preparation process. That's like saying milk and chocolate milk are two totally separate things. The difference comes from the milk itself, not the additives.

Actually, back bacon comes from the BACK and ham comes from the rear. Just sayin'. lol

The name implies the back, but it actually comes from the loin.

The loin is the back. Well actually side and back.
