Peameal bacon is brine-cured pork loin rolled in cornmeal, sliced thick and griddled. Toronto's signature sandwich stacks it on a soft kaiser with mustard at the St Lawrence Market counter.
Peameal bacon was developed in 1850s Toronto by William Davies for British export. Davies's Toronto pork-packing plant became the largest in the British Empire, earning the city the nickname Hogtown. Originally rolled in dried yellow pea meal as a preservative, the coating shifted to cornmeal in the 20th century. The peameal bacon sandwich at Carousel Bakery in St Lawrence Market has been the city's signature counter since 1977 under the Biancolin family, awarded the Toronto Signature Sandwich in 2016.
