Who knew Canadian French toast was so special?

Since I generally buy Michigan-made maple syrup, I guess I'll start
calling mine "Michigan French toast".

I have lived here and never heard of Canadian French Toast. It was
always just plain old French toast. But what the heck, another thing I
never knew existed was Canadian Bacon.

We started calling it "Canadian Bacon" when back bacon was first
imported from Toronto. We have been foolishly turning the loin
into pork chops and cutlets.

One time I was shopping and came across a package of something called
Canadian bacon and it was completely different from the peameal bacon
that is very popular here.

Because it's not supposed to be like peameal bacon. It's cured and
smoked.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about it. The stuff that I bought
that was labelled Canadian Bacon was cured and smoked. It is a good
thing that I got some and tried it because I never saw it again. Since
that time I have seen it Canadian Bacon on cooking shows and articles
about it that are actually calling it Canadian Bacon.

Let's just say don't come to Canada for Canadian Bacon. It doesn't exist
here and people will think you are talking about peameal.

If I wanted "Canadian Bacon" in Canada, I'd ask for "back bacon".

Which is what we called it in England. Mum always bought it and never
"streaky bacon" which is what you probably call "side bacon".
