British bacon is loin meat too. Fattier than Canadian but not more fat than meat.
You yanks just got sold pork belly that the dodgy butcher called bacon.

Thick sliced ham is Gammon.
(Basically bacon steak. Yes America that is a thing and it isn't close to a spiral cut ham.)
Nothing better than a Gammon steak with English mustard or pineapple.
