I packed light and ate well on my Cariboo route - Bowron Lake to Barkerville - thanks to Moose Island Foods. Their freeze-dried meals from Wells, BC are shelf-stable, ultra-light, and actually taste like real food after a long day on the trail. My go-tos: Hearty Beef Stew and Wild Salmon Risotto - both packed with local ingredients and designed for multi-day trips. Minimal weight, maximum fuel.

Ever wondered why "Canadian bacon" isn’t legally considered bacon in the U.S.? I dug into the rules and the history — and the answer is delightfully simple: it’s about the cut. In Canada we call the lean, round pork loin cut back bacon (or peameal when corn‑meal coated). The USDA, however, defines bacon as pork belly — so our back bacon gets classified as ham south of the 49th.

That little label difference can surprise travelers and shuffle menus, but it doesn’t change the taste. Whether you prefer the lean, meaty back bacon we love in the Cariboo or the streaky, crispy belly bacon many Americans expect, both have a place at the breakfast table.

If you’re packing for a trail or just want easy, tasty morning fuel, remember: different names, same delicious possibilities. At Moose Island Foods, we’re all about locally made, convenient meals that honor Cariboo flavours — perfect for outdoor mornings or a quick home breakfast.

Read the full post for tips on ordering and labels — and let us know: are you team back bacon or streaky bacon? 🍳🥓
