Think a 1:1 ratio would work?

It's going in a soup/chowder.

canadian bacon isn't real?

Isn't canadian bacon another word for ham?

Regular bacon will have LOADS more fat (and flavor). If you are planning to put in in a soup, I'd crisp it up first, otherwise you are just going to have lumps of fat in your soup. I'd also drain off the bacon fat or you will really change the consistency of your soup. That said, I'd probably go 1:1 ratio of uncooked bacon to Canadian bacon. You'll have a lot less once you cook it down, but--like I said--it'll have more flavor. And you can always add more. Btw--I'd start with less salt than the recipe requires. Your regular bacon will probably be saltier.

Im not sure what you guys call canadian bacon... but around here (quebec/canada) bacon is bacon... its the real deal...

In the US, Canadian bacon usually refers to a round piece of smoked ham.

I eat Bacon without cooking it be aide I am a man

but as far as canadian bacon, ham is going to be a closer substitute than bacon is
