I was at a local restaurant that I had never been to before. I thought I'd check the place out, and at first, it seemed nice enough.
But now here comes the wierd part. In Canada, we have Bacon, and Ham, just like the Americans, and other people do. Our bacon is the same as your bacon, those long, thin, crispy strips. But, as I have observed, there is a substance in the US known as 'Canadian Bacon'. I'm not too sure why this is named so, but in Canada, we call this h-a-m.
Anyway, I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and a rootbeer. (My test to see if a restaurant meets expectations) When my food came back, there were three little ham slices on the cheeseburger.
Now, I ate it , and it was quite good, but I must wonder why even some Canadians don't know what Real bacon is.

Although it was my fault. After looking at the menu a bit more, I discovered that Pepperoni didn't mean what I think I thought. But of course, by that time, It was too late. So I ate my pizza.

Or french sausages.
Now, when we want ham on our pizzas, we say "pizza with ham topping please". It's a simple system, but efficient.
