Bacon: ![http://www.businessweek.com/autos/autobeat/archives/bacon-2.jpg](http://www.businessweek.com/autos/autobeat/archives/bacon-2.jpg) ![http://culinspiration.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/crispy-bacon.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/b/0/b09f2c81e54eecba4829f24377bee78f0ca457f4.jpeg) Not Bacon: Just thought I’d clear that up. > The term _Canadian Bacon_ or _Canadian-style bacon_ must be made from the [pork loin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork_loin), and means back bacon,[[15]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon#cite_note-peameal-14) but this term refers usually to the lean ovoid portion (m. longissimus, or loineye).[[10]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon#cite_note-urmis-9) It also can be made from the sirloin portion of the loin ([gluteal muscles](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluteal_muscles)), but must be labeled appropriately. Similar products made from the ham are used as less expensive substitutes. _Canadian bacon_, meaning back bacon, is not in common parlance amongst Canadians. Oh well no shit. So what do you fellow North Americans call the stuff? ---

Stupid Canadian’s and their Fatty McFat food. Do you have any idea how many innocent children you are killing with your fatty breakfast foods?! I’m astonished this hasn’t been outlawed and generally banished for the benefit of society. On a more serious note, it is wonderful. Stop by the Ontario Deli and get some fresh bread and meat, make samiches and walk along the river. ---

French Fries with gravy however, I have no idea how they eat that stuff and still fit into their tuxedos. ---

> [@Fry](#): > > LOL Canadian bacon is actually way lower in fat than real bacon. French Fries with gravy however, I have no idea how they eat that stuff and still fit into their tuxedos. True, It has almost no fat compared to regular bacon. As for fries, don’t forget we have different food standards, our food can’t be cooked in saturated/trans fat or animals fats such as lard. ---
