British "bacon" sucks ass. I don't really like breakfast food at large and freely acknowledge a Full English is definitely superior to American breakfast....but their "bacon" is just sad ham.

"Streaky rashers" is the name for proper bacon over yonder, which makes me giggle every time I buy it because it sounds like a venereal disease

so this so called back bacon is British bacon, not Canadian? Canadian bacon is the small circle thing?
 
No no, it’s Irish bacon and anything the Brits serve is likely stolen, and cultural appropriation to boot, and anything the Canadians serve is something for which they should apologize.

Edit: stupid autocorrect adding Deppenapostroph

Yeah, it's a bit of a mess down here. We call bacon as Americans know it 'streaky bacon' and it's popular, but we also have 'middle bacon', 'middle eye bacon', 'rindless eye bacon', 'shoulder bacon', and 'rasher bacon'. And there are 'Danish' variants of some of those (I have no idea what makes it Danish). I might have missed some.

It's called Danish because it comes from Danish pigs. Denmark has a lot of pigs.

Unless the dish in question is boiled - then you can probably assume we invented that one.

I was watching a panel tv show last night with an American host who hit the nail on the head when he said about British food:

‘It’s not actually that bad, but guys, you have to admit that it doesn’t photograph very well.’

Those new attached bottle lids in the UK (and probably elsewhere) that literally everyone seems to hate are really great.

I've never lost a bottle cap since they were introduced and makes it way easier to use the bottle with one hand. Can't understand why everyone hates them so much.
