Yvan, I would sue, SUE I say, if this is a 'misnomer!"

That would be Canadian back bacon, a whole different taste and texture.

*edit* and whoever invented that round slabs of sausage instead of links

This is what Wikipedia says.

Canada

An individual slice of bacon is a slice or strip.

In Canada,

* The term bacon on its own refers generically to strip bacon from the belly meat of the pig, which is the most popular type of bacon sold in Canada.
* The term Canadian Bacon means bacon from Canada.
* The term peameal bacon is a variety of unsmoked back bacon which historically was brined and rolled in a meal made from ground yellow peas. More commonly today, fine cornmeal is used as a coating.

so, if Canadian bacon is from Canada, why is it round? (runs back to google)

desertgrandma · 02-10-2009, 08:44 PM

From Wikipedia
The term Canadian Bacon or Canadian-style bacon means back bacon[5], but this term refers usually to the lean ovoid portion.[3] This should not be confused with the round, sliced, smoked ham product called "Canadian Bacon" in much of the United States.

So it IS ham, but from the US!

Ooookay! So... is it any good? Never seen the stuff.

yvanleterrible · 02-10-2009, 08:53 PM

All of this is reminding me that sugar time is just one month away. Hmmmmm!

We go round to a real sugar shack, in the woods with no electricity. They cook on woodstoves, the places is heated with woodstoves, and the sirup is prepared with a woodburning stove.

One thing though. No one breaks egg anymore. They all use powdered egg preparations. Yuck!
Hey ! VR!.... Come back! I won't give you any!

Hey, Log Cabin is the best store bought syrup, IMO.

MonaLS · 02-10-2009, 09:18 PM

Oh my, real maple syrup. The best of the best. (Drooling now.)

Wetdogeared · 02-10-2009, 09:48 PM

My grandfather and uncles had a sugarbush (hardwood maple) woodlot. Every springtime they would get the Clydesdale team out with the sled and a big vat in the back. All the kids would gather the sap from the pails under the taps on the trees.

This was a big springtime tradition. They would then take the sap to the sugar shack where they kept the evaporator, fired up with wood. The evaporator would be running for about a week or two, as long as the sap was running. It needed to be freezing at night and thawing during the day.

It would take about 32 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup.

There was usually an argument of some kind as to how thick the syrup should be. Grandma liked it light, grandpa liked it dark and a little thicker.

Great times, good memories, the real stuff.

My Grandpa and Grandma used to make sorghum every fall after the harvest. Amazingly, the smell started out awful, sort of medicine-like and then mellowed out to wonderful.
