I feel like most things are not from that country. And if they are (or also if they are not), they are called some thing different there.
Fun german fact: Frankfurter sausages and Wiener (Vienna) sausages are the same, but in Frankfurt they are called Wiener, and in Vienna they are called Frankfurter
Hawaiian pizza was, however, invented in Canada
Canadian dollar bills have the Norwegian maple on them. But Norwegian "watch out for moose crossing the road" signs have a drawing of a Canadian moose on them.
It's an exchange program.
Apparently it's a UK thing. Never heard of it.
(I'm from the USA. FWIW)
It's not a UK thing I've ever heard of and I've lived in Wales, England, and Scotland.
I’m from the UK and I’ve heard of it. Maybe it’s a North or North West of England thing. We’re a small country but we still do have regional food.
Must be NW in that case as I spent every summer from 1994 to 2005 near Hexham!
Never heard of it. Lived in England/Wales for 59 years... Will ask wife, who was a chef.
Ok. So now I know it's what is used in steak sandwiches.
I have never heard or read its name before - mostly because it is sold in places I don't frequent (or by food wholesalers) but also because I don't often have steak sandwiches.
Every day is a school day I guess.
You are missing out... so much. A good steak sandwich is the food of the gods, especially at half time of the second match on super Saturday,.. and again half way through the first half of the third match. Ask your chef wife to work it out out for you, she will have the talent to get it riiiiggghhhttt ... a bad streak sandwich is a dead shame but aches will know how to turn a cheap cut and a nice bit of baguette into a proper snack
Also never heard of it. Irish, so right next door.
Do you mean Montreal smoked meat?
I was wondering that. It looks a bit like it.
Reminds me of Americans obsessing over "Canadian bacon" and showing me pictures of slabs of ultra processed meat that I've never seen before in my life. Closest we've got is back bacon and that's leagues above the crap they call "Canadian" bacon.
"Canadian bacon" is peameal bacon right? That shit's delicious but while I've always assumed that's what Americans meant by Canadian bacon, I've never been sure
edit: oh yeah I'm completely wrong and have never seen anything like that really
edit 2: okay there's some truth to my original comment. Peameal bacon is the best and everyone who eats meat should try it
"Canadian bacon" is just ham, but we only call it that when it's on a pizza. I have no idea why it's called that. I prefer to just call it "ham", but I have had pretty mixed results when trying to order "ham" on a pizza.
Canadian bacon comes from the back (as in, near the back bone) of the pig. Ham comes from the other back (as in, the butt)... Which isn't to be confused with the pork butt (also called pork shoulder) from the front, typically used for pulled pork.
Interesting. I never noticed a difference. Thanks for the explanation.
Confirmed. No clue what the fuck this is supposed to be.
Wait until you find out about German Chocolate Cake.
Or baked Alaska. Or French fries. Or....
Next you’ll tell me French toast isn’t.
Steak whatnow?
It's as Canadian as curry and hot pot.
Never heard of it.
Toast Hawaii isn't from Hawaii either
Judging by that picture the UK is not being kind to us.
Reminds me of a Hunter’s sandwich.
