Why does your bacon suck so much? It's really just ham that wasn't cooked properly and is dried out. :bootyshak

And do you call it Canadian Bacon up there? Or is it just bacon?



Damn, now I want a BLT!

I agree. Canadian bacon sucks. We don't even serve it in canada....lol suckers!!

So, it's official, Ike has run out of Americans to offend! :mdrmed:

S

Why do I piss out beer with more alcohol than is available to me in the US?

Well, actually they just call it ham. It is an American thing to call it Canadian Bacon. I was in Kelowna, BC at a restaurant place a few years back that had a pizza special and said I wanted pepperoni and Canadian bacon. The waitress smiled and said "You must be an American, eh?" Clearly my Portland Winter Hawk jersey wasn't a big enough clue, seeing as this restaurant was no more than two blocks from the old arena and the hockey game had just ended. I said I was and she asked if I wanted actual bacon on my pizza or ham, and I told her ham. Then she laughed and said she liked to give Americans a hard time because there is no such thing as Canadian bacon in Canada. It is just ham!!!!

Actually there is such a thing. It's also known as Peameal bacon. It wasn't available in the US until a little while ago. We always took some down to my uncle in the US when we went and visited. I think it's delicous, especially in macaroni and cheese!

Its actually called peameal bacon and we eat the same bacon as you guys do (as peameal is pricey)

and yeah.. its just ham

I've never heard of or seen that kind. Is it like Spam?

EDIT: Nevermind!!! I guess I type too slow.

It's not just ham.

spam spam spam spam! i just saw a show on spam (believe it or not) and it got it's name from Shoulder Pork And haM ...

I bet that would be great in scalloped potatoes and ham. That is where you slice the potato into thin, less than 1/4 inch, circular/oval slices and put it into a seasoned white sauce with small cubes of ham. You bake it in the oven. When it is done the potato is still a little crunchy. It is soooo good!!!

I kinda want that for dinner tomorrow so I will have to see if I can find some peameal to put in it.

Food Network "Unwrapped" by any chance.

Food Network "Unwrapped" by any chance.
no ... it was on discovery or TLC, but i love that unwrapped show! scared me a bit when they showed those marshmallow peeps being made YEARS in advance!!!! :nono:

The first I ever heard of "Canadian Bacon" was at Mcdonalds in the states. I ordered a bacon egg mcmuffin and they asked me what kind of bacon I wanted, regular or Canadian. I picked canadian cause she made it sound so exotic. Took on bite and I spit it out immediately. I'm like "this is fvckn ham". Anyways to make a long story short Canadian Bacon sucks balls.

The US doesn't have Canadian Bacon Darkmaz. You didn't eat Canadian Bacon at McDonalds. Canadian Bacon is Peameal Bacon, but the US can't get Peameal bacon because the FDA wouldn't allow it, so they call ham, Canadian Bacon, which is not right.

I heard that recently, the FDA has allowed real Canadian bacon to be sold to the US.

wait, that peameal stuff you speak of is what we are calling canadian bacon?

so does this mean I can sue mcDonalds?

They've been sued for other ludicrous things before, so.. Why not?! :)

Is it possible to be allergic to ham and not bacon????

I dunno, but my brother gets sick eating pork products.

I don't like ham, but I love bacon. Does that count?? :D:

I thought you didn't eat meat?

Nope, just certain kinds I don't care for ... I'm weird.

Haha you eat meat

Canadian Bacon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000059TG8/103-5957205-4857402?v=glance&n=130) is a movie made in 1995.

A good movie too.


...P.S See avatar

I thought Canadian bacon is also called Back bacon?

This thread is totally whooping TOdreamer's thread! :lol:

That crap that you AMERICANS invented and labelled "Canadian bacon" actually has nothing to do with Canada! :spank: Don't blame us!

mmm bacon.

I actually do have some in the fridge. The one thing besides alcohol that I own in the fridge in the house.

The Canadians are winning by 2, get with it people, this isn't Hockey, they must not win!

I love hockey.

imma get a bacon double cheeseburger tomorrow :yumyum:

But the question remains.......what kind of bacon????? :)

imma get a bacon double cheeseburger tomorrow :yumyum:

Banquet burger, Onion rings and a shake!

the cripsy kind... bacon makes all sammiches bett4r

I'd kill for some onion rings right now!!! I'm allergic to onions but I love them anyway and crave them all the time (sign of allergies is to crave what you are allergic to).

Huh, I used to crave orange soda and cat meat, it all makes sense now!

I don't know what the hell you all are talking about!

Actually, I explained what Canadian Bacon is.

Actually, I explained what Canadian Bacon is.

Could you explain it again please? ;)

You'll have to forgive us. We are Americans. LOL

I have found that if you cook bacon on an electric grill such as this with the holes where the grease can fall through. The bacon comes out crisp, straight and zebra striped. Very delicious.

I love maple syrup. :wiggle:

wow you guys just confused the hell out of me.. You call Ham, Canadian bacon? weird :)

Another strange thing is Iced Tea. I do not understand how you guys can drink cold tea.. Our iced tea is sweetened and doesn't even taste like tea..

wow you guys just confused the hell out of me.. You call Ham, Canadian bacon? weird :)
I'd slap you if I was standing beside you right now. :rollingla

For crispy straight bacon, I make it in the microwave. Mostly because my pans are too small for bacon.

That crap that you AMERICANS invented and labelled "Canadian bacon" actually has nothing to do with Canada! :spank: Don't blame us!Yeah... we call what's in that picture bacon too. You can find it in just about any grocery store in the US (Hormel Bacon sucks, btw).

The stuff we call Canadian Bacon is salted ham "similar" in appearance to peameal bacon (minus the crust); which is why we call it Canadian Bacon (some people don't know or care about the difference).

As for peameal being illegal in the states, that's not entirely true. Peameal is lean pork loin, which is sold here. I've had it and have made it many times in the past (and I've never been to Canada). And while I've never pickled any of the pork loins I've made, I have crusted them with cornmeal.

Someday, when I finally visit your fine country, I'll try the real stuff and see what all the hullabaloo is about. In the mean time, I'll stick to sausage, 'cause I don't really like bacon. :evil_laug

I'll take the Black Diamond Cheddar please. Pop is from Toronto!

The Chinese and the Canadians are beating us here people, this isn't a TV building contest or Curling! Get with the program people!

Sorry Ike!!!!

This thread just caught my eye and wow!!!! Somehow I'm not surprised that a thread about Canadian Bacon could go on for 4 pages. I live in Canada and work in the US. I have this arguement on average about once or twice a month.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Baconnnnnnn.

What about Toques? We could talk about Toques.

Don't get me started on "Toques".

i had a BLT today in honor of this thread and REAL bacon :D:

Did that run you aboot $5, or if you prefer about $500 Canadian?

Did that run you aboot $5, or if you prefer about $500 Canadian?

Did that run you aboot $5, or if you prefer about $500 Canadian?

lol.. $500 canadian.. our dollar is kicking your dollar's ass :) it's only costing us 1.15 for 1 USD :) gone are the days of 1.50 per USD! :P

And what do you guys call toques? winter hats?

MrJynx

I don't know, I don't think we wear them, otherwise they would just be called "hats". Kinda like Canadian bacon is just "Bacon" up there.

Reminds me of when my dad went to a Chinese restaurant and saw the spoons and asked the waitress "These are neat, what do you call them?" she says "... Spoon."
