Canadian bacon vs regular bacon

[tarponhead]

Just wondering for chuckles.

My garden is puking tomatoes, eating them everyday.

Hot day today, so no cooking. Cannot locate regular bacon for my BLT, but find canadian bacon in the freezer = all sytems go for (modified) BLT.

Sandwich is good. Not as good as using regular bacon but good none the less.

Soooo... just wondering, is Canadian bacon "better" for you then regular bacon? (Please note the quotation marks around "better" ).

Again, just wonderin......

My wife the nutritionist says says Canadian bacon is much better for you than regular baconsince it has much less fat. It's more like ham than American bacon.

When I lived in StJ, the local pizza shop offered canadian bacon for their bacon pizza topping. I actually thought it was amongst the best bacon pizzas I have ever sampled.

Everything has it's purpose. Regular Bacon ain't so great for eggs benedict.

Regular bacon=belly

Canadian bacon i think is loin.

I like the former.

Poached eggs over somed salmon with dark rye is my way of avoiding benedict

I used to like Canadian bacon with eggs and hashbrowns for those 2AM runs to the diner in college.

It has its place, but not in a BLT.

Both are excellent. Regular bacon is obviously the champion, but Canadian bacon is an excellent change of pace, and much, much healthier. After my Dad had his heart attack, I remember feeling relieved that it was on the list of OK foods for us to have in the house. It's way better than turkey bacon, imo. It's also usually cut in a round shape that makes it perfect for make-your-own breakfast sandwiches.
