In Canadian usage, peameal is shorthand for peameal bacon — a wet-cured, unsmoked back bacon historically rolled in ground yellow peas (now more commonly cornmeal). It is a distinctly Canadian, particularly Ontarian, product. A Toronto specialty, the peameal bacon sandwich served on a kaiser bun is considered a local icon. The term also survives in the older, rarer sense of ground peas used as fodder or meal.
