MrFatBooty i really appreciate the effort you put into that explanation.....honestly! i FINALLY have the answer as to what "canadian bacon" is now.........it doesn't sound so weird now...........one last thing, is it just the "cut" of pork or does it actually have to come from here? heheh. By the way, what do most Yanks think of Canadian beef? do "y'all" think it's all full of Mad Cow?? heheh. just curious 'cause all these beef farmers have been bitchin' for a while at our gov't to get your gov't to accept canadian beef again. It doesn't affect me. Just a question outta curiosity.
