Alright, last night I had a strange occurence, which I'm quite disturbed about.
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.

I've only heard the term "Canadian bacon" used in reference to pizza. I assumed it was because "ham pizza" just didn't sound right. :-)

Speaking of Pizza. In Germany, I ordered a Pizza with pepperoni, and they gave me whole jalepienos (sp?) right on top of the pizza.
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.

One restaurant, north of Toronto in a small town named Fenelon Falls, has the worst service on the planet. After they had gotten my order wrong twice and my father's three times, we just agreed to eat whatever they gave us next. Sometimes you just can't win.

Hmmm...the "Canadian bacon" that I've had, and it tasted like Italian sausage...

I don't know what any of you are talking about. Canadian bacon is called that because it's made from Canadians. And while I'm on the subject, could you people cut back on the fish and rodents and eat more fruits and berries? It would vastly improve your flavor, in my opinion.
