CANADA

I love Canada.   I spent two years in Newfoundland back when Joey Smallwood was Premier.  I have traveled through every Province.  I have worked with Canadian Forces and been through their Winter Bush Survival School.

But; Canadian bacon  is not BACON!

  1. I'd imagine they have regular bacon... They don't call it American bacon do they? :-)

  2. We don't call it Canadian bacon, we call it BACK bacon. The other type of bacon is SIDE bacon which is much fattier. Back bacon is lean. IT IS NOT HAM, NO MATTER WHAT YOU AMERICANS THINK! hahahaha

    1. I was raised by my grandparents down south and my grandmother used to cook Fat Back for flavoring. it was cut from the pig's back. Surely that is different than BACK Bacon...because it definitely ain't lean...not to mention, uber salty.

    2. You're right, Fat Back is entirely different.

  4. For what it's worth, we don't even call it Canadian bacon. Our bacon, what we call bacon, is exactly like your bacon - the long thin strips that look and taste like bacon. The only people who call Canadian bacon Canadian bacon are Americans. We would call it back bacon, or if it has cornmeal on the outside, peameal bacon. Amen. -Jenn

  6. LOL back bacon is good on certain things but a regular old bacon strip or 20 is the best. Did you eat 'Newfie Steak' while in Newfoundland?
