Do you just call it ‘bacon’, but call the long fatty strip-like bacon ‘American bacon’?
And what about you Brits? What do you call the various types of bacon?

We call iCanadian bacon “peameal bacon” or “back bacon” and we call normal bacon “bacon”.
We call it back bacon.
The regular kind of strip bacon we call “bacon.”
Then there’s peameal bacon, which is back bacon that’s been rolled in cornmeal, but previously peameal, hence the name.
We call it back bacon. Peameal has to have been rolled in cornmeal.
But AFAIK, that’s what Americans usually are calling “Canadian bacon”, back bacon rolled in cornmeal. Eta: though the OP"s picture is not.
Whenever I’ve seen “Canadian bacon” in the US, it’s always been like the OP’s picture, not rolled in cornmeal.
They call it beh?con.
I’ve never seen peameal in the US
Brit: American bacon is streaky bacon, the better bacon is back bacon. As often as not, smoked.
The OP’s picture of Canadian Bacon looks more like Gammon.
This American has never heard of peameal, nor have I ever seen bacon rolled in cornmeal.
Huh. Well I’ve definitely seen it though not in the grocery store, usually as part of a burger or sandwich at a restaurant. FWIW, the wiki page on peameal bacon gives “Canadian bacon” as an alternative name.
I’ve never heard of peameal bacon, and the name is pretty unappetizing.
Canadian bacon is the stuff that’s in an Egg McMuffin.
I’m getting an education here. I’ve never heard of peameal or Gammon before today.
And since we’re speaking of Canada and bacon…I went to Newfoundland last year and holy god the amount of bacon you get in restaurants is heavenly. I’ve never been giving so much bacon before and I’m FAIRLY certain they deep fry it. I miss it
On a similar note, I had a conversation with a Brit who had no idea what an English muffin was.
And oddly, the wiki for “back bacon” distinguishes between the American usage of “Canadian bacon” (roughly cylindrical fully cooked back bacon, usually smoked, trimmed into medallions, and thickly sliced) and “peameal bacon” (unsmoked wet cured pork loin trimmed like “canadian bacon” and traditionally rolled in ground dried yellow peas to extend its shelf life.)
Don’t they call it a crumpet?
What do the French call french fries?
Anyone?
The French call them “pomme frites”, as do the Germans funnily enough.
*"pomme de terre is French for potato.
Well, I didn’t have any reason to visit Newfoundland BEFORE, but now …
No. A crumpet is like a thick pancake. The thing you call an English muffin, we call a muffin.
