    Because America is obsessed with being as different from the UK as possible.

    Chagen: wut. I really doubt entire industries are built on being different from America...
    And I'm pretty sure bacon existed long before America did so...

    (I don't care Juan)


    Abyss: From what I could tell, Canadian bacon isn't 'bacon' and is actually a form of ham. Could be wrong though.

    That looks like ham.

    Canada isn't a country, it's a giant golf club.

    /inb4 everyone gets mad at me and doens't realize that this a reference
  • TheConductorTheConductor
    It's a giant golfclub with its own version of bacon tho ;D
  • NyktosNyktos
    a little muffled
    Canadian bacon can refer either to back bacon or to a type of ham. Neither one has anything in particular to do with Canada.

    The fat marbling (at least in the two pictures) looks different. It's probably a different cut.
  • SaigyoujiSaigyouji
    But you never had any to begin with.
    So, is Canada a club for golfers, or an object designed for hitting golf balls?
  • WaltzyWaltzy
    I'll eat any bacon.

    Discrimination is mean, kids.

    because jamon serrano is totally cheaper than bacon.

    also, you can't fry it.
