Mekanik Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Is that really what you guys call bacon? If so do you call it Canadian Bacon, or just bacon? Do you guys ever eat 'American Bacon'? Just curious. My wife was asking today during lunch when we were eating a pizza with Canadian Bacon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Canadian bacon is commonly referring to back bacon or peameal bacon. Any kind of bacon is good.

Jeff_E Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Real bacon is awesome. "Canadian bacon" is called ham here, and no, it doesn't surprise me that those pesky Northerners in our big back yard would attempt taking credit for its invention by renaming it.

Aaron Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Canada An individual slice of bacon is a slice or strip. In Canada: * The term bacon on its own refers generically to strip bacon from the belly meat of the pig, which is the most popular type of bacon sold in Canada.[citation needed] * The term back bacon is used interchangeably to describe either smoked or unsmoked back bacon. * The term peameal bacon is a variety of unsmoked back bacon which historically was brined and rolled in a meal made from ground yellow peas. Today, fine cornmeal is more commonly used as a coating. * Canadians do not use the term "Canadian Bacon".[citation needed] snip and paste from WIKI I've always thought of it as back bacon, or the peameal style as described above.

DwayneGorniak Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I'm sorry but you have to post that reply in French and English please. No freakin French at all Please. Them dirty beggers will do nothin but screw it up. Bacon is a Canadian and American if you wish delicatessen and just shouldn't be screwed with. Bacon goes great with anything and almost everything: Coffee, eggs, burgers, chilly cheese and bacon hot dogs, pizza, Caesar salads, any damned salad, pancakes, any damned sandwich, oh and don't ever forget bacon wrapped oven roasted chestnuts. i could go on forever, but please don;t be sac-religious and allow the French to screw this one up. I can only imagine what they would do with bacon and call it. Anyone ever heard of how screwed up Quebec is about margarine? http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2008/07/09/f-margarine.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Shit, I still have a crock of bacon fat in the fridge. I use it all the time.

Mekanik Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Wow, i didn't realize this would be such a hot topic. I read a recipie for a sandwich with bacon and peanut butter. Sounds a little wierd, but worth a try next Sunday morning. Jim, what do you think? I was expecting something from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hmmmm...... Canadian bacon? Like as in "bacon made in Canada"? Years ago, a meat packers named Gainers ate the big green wiener (pun intended) because they made union bacon..... and the unions killed the goose that laid the golden egg (or is that killed the pig that offered the golden rasher?). Oddly, Union bacon might also be Canadian bacon - or it could be US bacon, too... Non-union bacon (I prefer not to call it scab bacon) is about reasonably priced.... Kosher bacon, OTOH, THAT would be quite the find..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Now here's a question.... Let's say that old Abe in Vegreville has a smoked bacon recipe that would curl your toes... and he sends his recipe to his cousin Yakov in Oregon..... Would that be American bacon? Canadian bacon? Or Canadian 'style' bacon made in America? On a different note... if anyone saw Dalton McGuinty going ga-ga over Chevrolet and the Volt on the news, bacon soon takes on the shape of a squggley little piece of meat....

DwayneGorniak Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I thought Dalton Mcguinty was a squiggley little piece of crap chewin the ole' fat. And he aint no where as appealing as Bacan. In fact, he leaves a shitty taste in most westerners mouth. So Ontario can keep him. I'll stick with bacon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
