Where does it fit into the bacon discussion? Is it better than turkey bacon?

    From differencebetween.net, a 100% credible interweb site:

    "Canadian bacon is gotten from the loin cut that runs along the back of the pig whereas ham is gotten from the primal cut that includes the leg, butt, and shank. Ham is gotten in diced chunks, slices, and whole form. On the other hand, Canadian bacon is gotten in sliced form only.

    When ham contains honey or sugar, Canadian bacon does not contain any of these. Now looking at the calorie content, the Canadian bacon contains fewer calories than ham. Moreover, Canadian bacon is lower in carbohydrates and cholesterol than ham. Canadian bacon also has more protein content than ham. Meanwhile, ham contains more sodium than Canadian bacon. Unlike Canadian bacon, ham contains more Vitamin C and calcium."

    I honestly don't understand why Americans call breakfast ham "Canadian bacon" It's really weird to us Canadians...

    If it's on my pizza, I pick it off. No reason to ingest calories from sources that I deem are sub-par. :grumble:

    I'm going to start calling Lebanese food, American food because apparently that's how it works...

    No No.

    All *kitten* is not created equal.

    If it wasn't for the Egg McMuffin, no American would even know what Canadian Bacon even is.
