Bacon

Alrighty.

Here in the US, Bacon is strips of greasy, fatty pork, about a half inch wide, and perhaps 6 inches to a foot long, best fried, served with eggs, scrambled, and hash brown potatoes.

In Canada, Bacon is completely different, being a disc shaped slice of ham, with rind, which can be fried or, I suppose, baked. Its pretty good in a sandwich consisting of fried egg, chedder cheese, and on an english muffin.

So, in your country, what is bacon, the US version, the Canadian type, or something even stranger than either, and how do you like it?

Bacon is an English mans rump.:bigyello:

I've never tried to eat my rump or anyone elses for that matter. I guess I like mine covered and the wind kept off it :confused:

Francis Bacon?

what is this round bacon stuff and were do you find it????? Back Bacon maybe???? Everywhere I have lived in Canada, we have eaten the strip variety (my favorite being Maple flavoured - Now that's Canadian!!):wave:

In the UK there is/was Richard *sniff*sniff* Bacon.

This Canadian type of becon you talk of, sounds like gammon to me?

Hmmm,
The easiest place to find Canadian Bacon is at McDonalds, on an Egg McMuffin.

I've also had it at several restaurants, such as Friendly's, Denny's, and while in the Army, it was on the breakfast menu several times.

Also had it at college.

I'm sure you can google up a picture, hmmm, lets see.. yep!

Here's a site displaying .Canadian Bacon
