So Pat was in a diner once more down in New York and yes he even managed to use a fork. Still wish they had those up here but I guess I'm SOL with that I fear. Anyway, on to the topic of today. For at your stinkin American bay, I found something out that Blabber, Pat and many other people went on and on and on about. Pat sat down for breakfast and saw bacon there and it said Canadian by it reminding him of his lair, so he figured what the hell and ordered some thinking it would be swell. Feck that! For I smell a rat.
What came was HAM! They slapped it down with a bam and it was stinkin ham and not bacon what so ever. So Canadian Bacon is ham? That is quite the endeavour. What nut case thought this stupid idea up? It seems every Canadian I ask thinks you Americans are drinking straight rum in your cup. Meaning you are out of your mind. Did you just pull such a name from your behind?
You should call bacon, bacon and ham, ham. Do you have another name for jam? Maybe Russian Moose? Or Chinese Goose? Makes no sense what so ever. So why the hell would some nut job think of naming ham Canadian Bacon and think it was clever? Stupid in every way! Ham is ham and bacon is bacon at our bay. There is no difference what so ever in the bacon we have up here and the one down there I fear. So you don't need to take your crummy ham and rename it blaming it on Canadians because it isn't a hit.
Don't believe me? Look it up at your sea. Every Canadian thinks you guys are insane for believing such a thing down at your lane. I hate dairy and find it rather scary, so maybe I'll name it American Milk from now on and the idea would spread from my lawn. The milk is all the same but naming it American Milk gives me someone to blame.
Why stop there though? Let's blame prune juice on Sweden and bananas on Eden. Let's blame headaches on the Irish and raw fish on some bad India wish. Penguin Man gets blamed for pringle cans though. I'm sure he'll like the fame of it from my show. But either way it is so dumb and someone obviously pulled this from their bum. Ham is ham and bacon is bacon and that is it! Anyone who says differently is a nitwit. And that is putting it nicely I will say and so ends the rant of the day. Pat already went through this with that Blabber lass but it also had to be done by my little rhyming ass.
Experience spring, have a fling.
Number #1 Wow..wee
ReplyDeleteHank
You like that
DeleteBeing first at my mat
Bacon is bacon ham is ham
ReplyDeleteWhy take it on the Canadian
Yeah, milk is now American
But there is a difference?
Hank
Nope not a one
DeleteWith their stupid ham fun
I'm laughing so hard this time
ReplyDeleteThat I can barely rhyme
You never used your fork
At my diner in New York
Because we're not in on the scam
Of reinventing ham
LMAO glad it was fun
DeleteAnd that must be done
At each and every one
No more scam ham to be given a run
One time I ordered a hamburger in British Columbia. It came with a ton of mayonnaise slathered all over it. EEEK, I said. I didn't order mayonnaise on my hamburger. They said it ALWAYS comes with mayonnaise. I said I hate mayonnaise, get it off. They thought I was crazy! LOL. (Can't imagine why people would think mayonnaise goes with burgers.) From then on I knew I had to order hamburgers WITHOUT mayonnaise! Different customs / different names...c'est la vie.
ReplyDeleteLMAO yeah I suppose that is true
DeleteBut at least they didn't name it different for you
Keep the damn name the same
And then things will be more tame
I don't eat bacon and ham nowadays except during holidays.
ReplyDeleteWhen you travel and stay in a different country, you realize people think and call things differently. Breakfast for me means cereals and light toast, for others, its rice and spice ~
haha yeah I realize that a ton
DeleteAs I went on a NY run
I never eat ham
So that was a bit of a scam
But oh well
And yeah cereal and toast are what is now eaten for breakfast at my cell
Welcome to my feckin' world cat. You should be Irish and in the States during the month of March when the entire USA gets drunk and makes fun of my country. They piss you off about one little thing and you write a blog. I've held my feckin tongue over green beer, shamrocks, Top O'the Morning To ya and phony accents. Everyone claims to have a bit of Irish in them yet no one knows who the hell our President or Prime Minister is and have no feckin idea how bad our economy is. And NOT ONE OF THEM EVER honors our poets on St. Patricks day. You know, small no name guys like W.B. Yeats or Oscar Wilde. Jesus Christ, don't they read books?
ReplyDeleteBut really I can understand. Our culture is thousands of years old and most of it didn't happen on Prime Time television so I can't really expect them to know any of it. Oh but they know who U2 is, but not one of the feckers can tell me what day Bloody Sunday was on, nor name the names of our dead. I don't think Bono covered those bits.
ah, Annzie, at least the Americans don't deem your people a genocidal nation like they do with mine, even though most of them don't know where Serbia is, and to make things worst most of them think it's the same as Siberia.
DeleteI think I hit a nerve with you too
DeleteOh that is fun to do
But yeah many pretend
And send you right around the bend
They have no idea of in their own little la la land
Thinking all is grand
Pffft all a bunch of crap
Canadian bacon can take a dirt nap
LMAO yeah that is pretty bad indeed
With them thinking Siberia is the same as your feed
But then they think mine is by Alaska too
So I guess many have a loose screw..haha
wait a minute! You mean Canada is not bordering with Alaska? Then what's on your left side? Zimbabwe? :)))
DeleteNS is not near Alaska like they think
DeleteBC is the one out there near that rink
ah, I didn't go into separating Canada into regions, I meant the whole country :) I know you yourself is far away from bears and seals....
DeleteYou mean Canada is a country? It has boarders and everything like that? Well slap me and call me Fred.
DeleteLOL yeah they thought I was close to the polar bears too
DeleteToo funny that American crew
Is that an invitation to do so
Hmmm the cat would have to take you up on such a flow
Sorry fred
If I cause you dread
We thought you were near polar bears too b/c you said "I saw a polar bear once". Who lies about seeing a polar bear???????? Don't blame us for believing you!!!
DeleteLMAO you believed Pat
DeleteShould not do that
Now ask me why the hell I married an American? I married one because Irishman are just too damn difficult to put up with and sometimes I don't feel like yelling, I just feel like shagging. And American men know how to get the job done with little or no fuss.
ReplyDeleteshagging is always better than yelling, even the Pope in Vatican agrees!
DeleteLMAO now that is something the cat can agree with you with as well
DeleteFor shagging is just swell
The yelling is just a pain
So shag it up and board the ummm shag train
Even your evil Pope agrees
I guess I won't send him fleas
shag train?
Deleteoh, lol....
we need to find us Austen Powers' shaguar :)
DeleteLOL well it just popped out
DeleteWho knows what it is all about
There better not be anything "popping out" over here cat. I thought you'd been snip snipped. Has it grown back? Do they do willie replacements in Canada? Do they use Canadian bacon to make a prosthetic willie? I hope so because ham would be floppy while everyone knows Canadian Bacon is so crisp you can stand it on it's head. It comes on pizza in the States too cat. I'll never order pizza with Canadian bacon and not think about your prosthetic willy again.
Deletecan't breathe...laughing too hard....LOL!
Deletesee...if that's the case, he should have ordered the sausage links, right?
DeleteAnne
DeleteI am sure Pat's day is made, he missed your lashes a lot. )
Poor guy, he is virtually assaulted, molested and yet he stays strong. So what if you have prosthetic willie, you have iron heart Pat. Hats off to you :)
what's with all the butt kissing, Cap? lol...
Delete@Betsy,
DeleteIf he is a normal guy, I could kiss him on his cheeks, right from 5 he had been obsessed with his ass so thought that would be more appropriate I guess. Did you read his confession in Jax's post about stripping from age of 5?
Actually how is he able to handle all this whooping single handedly? Beats me
LOL I guess willies grow on trees up here
DeleteSo a new one can come to my little rhyming rear
The cat will have to try out a ton
And give them a run
To see which works best
And beats all the rest
Some butt kissing to me
That causes glee
And never fear
As Irish Air can't offend my little rhyming rear
Cat is all talk and no action!
DeleteI giving plenty of action
DeletePutting many in traction
I agree with Betsy, a sausage would do better. But I'm guessing in your case it would be one of those cocktail sausages. You know like the cocktail weenies. How very appropriate.
DeletePfft the cat would get a big one
DeleteAnd have is non snip snip fun
you would get a big one? Does that mean your sausage is now small? :)) We might need a photographic illustration...
DeletePfft that will never come due
DeleteAs it'd be too much to view
I won't be so sure about that. Yelling WHILE shagging sounds a lot better than just simply yelling or shagging....
Deleteyou know...different countries, different customs...i had the worst pretzel in my life when i was in nyc...but fell in love with their cream cheese bagels...smiles
ReplyDeletehaha yeah different ways to go about things
DeleteEven with the crummy Canadian bacon in the NY wings
Wait! What? The worst pretzel??? No way, not off a cart..say it isn't so, those things rock! =)
DeleteHmm I take it pretzels are a big thing
DeleteNever tried those either at the NY wing
oh man, no bacon is def different than ham, maybe the grocer store buyer for the restaurant was on the lam, everything is better with bacon, but ham? sorry man, you got scammed
ReplyDeleteGlad you agree
DeleteAs it is blah to see
They should call it what it is
Not any of this ham biz
I suppose since you already announced that anyone that would disagree is a nimwit, most will keep quiet. ha. But there is a slight difference between Canadian Bacon and ham. Besides, if you're going to eat bacon...eat it. Why do you buy turkey bacon? So disrepectful to the turkey and the pig! hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteI bet the Americans have tofu bacon too ;)
DeleteDisagree away
DeleteYou know that is always fun at my bay
Still STUPID in every way
For there is no difference what so ever I say
Ham is ham
One big damn scam
And turkey tastes better too
So that is what is eaten at my zoo
LOL wouldn't doubt it one bit
With their bacon fit
tofu....eeew.
DeleteLOL haven't tried that
DeleteSo unknown to pat
oh, please, what's with the eew :) I eat tofu every week, it's lovely. I usually make breaded smoked tofu, and we also have the paprika or dill flavoured ones, which I sometimes cut into little fingers and wrap them with French pastry together with some cheese and get lovely savoury treats after I bake them :)
DeleteNever know might be good
DeletePat will try almost anything once now and as well he should
sorry, no...tofu will not be eaten by me!
DeleteAnd I love all kinds of food and am not picky.
But I prefer meat
it's such a yummy treat!
lol.
Yeah I go for the chicken every time
DeleteThat is not a crime
I ate tofu yesterday :) It had a sweet sauce and seasame seeds on it! So yum!!!
Deleteand they do have tofu bacon. I buy it from Trader Joes!
they also have a tofurkey, I hear :)
DeleteYesss, they do!! It's not that great though. Although the chicken-less chicken nuggets don't taste all that bad... :)
DeleteEew again. Sorry, haha. At least you'd never have to share. See...I'd rather have fresh strawberries. That sounds much better. lol....
DeleteLOL chicken less chicken nuggets are umm ewww
DeleteThat is one thing I would never chew
Strawberries you say
hahaha scary to her bay
here in Europe some people even call bacon a hamburger, probably thinking it comes from Hamburg :) It's a crazy world, I swear it is...
ReplyDeleteAnd me will never quite understand how do I get blamed for your nasty hobby of collecting pringle cans with surprises in them. You did it even before I was born, cat....
how did you get blamed for that Dez? haha
DeleteFoods are different even within our own country. Names for foods are different just one state away! For instance, a meat sandwich can be a Submarine, Hero, Hoaggie, Grinder...just depends on what part of the country you are in! Pizza is different, too, depending on where you are.
So, Dez...what's your very favorite food? You're vegetarian, right?
I've no idea, I swear that cat is like hundred years old and has been playing with the poo for a whole century, while me is fresh as a young spring daisy ....me is, I swear me is.
DeleteYep, I'm vegetarian. My fave dish is one of the national dishes in my Vojvodina - pasta with potatoes :) You have it here:

I also love my pea burgers:

and my fave cake is Bombanana, my own invention as usually:

that pasta and potatoes looks really yummy! I love paprika, too! ok..so the side dish to my american eyes looks like sweet midget pickles. Is that right? :)
Deletethe pea burgers actually look scrumptious! We would call those pea fritters.
the chocolate and banana cake looks so good! Now what is on the top under the chocolate? Are they almonds?
wow Dez...I didn't realize you were such a gourmand! :)
and that pasta is extremely easy to make, but tastes heavenly :) That's my own comfort food :) Yes, those are pickles :)
DeleteI memorized the "fritters" word now and will use it in the future :) In my album there you have spinach fritters too :)
That's my best selling cake :) People always order that one, and it's chocolate flips on top.
I do cake baking and catering for money, Petsy :) you know....
no, I didn't know! Wow...you know, I do that, too!
Deletechocolate flips? Candy? Solid chocolate like a truffle?
it's like corn flips, but not the savoury ones, but the ones covered in chocolate. I believe that you call them cocoa puffs... but these are a bit different. I have them covered both with white and dark chocolate and often cover my cakes with them totally :) And sometimes they are even filled with raisins or hazelnuts...
DeleteDo you two wish to have your own room
DeleteTo drool and compare recipes of doom?
Maybe a new twin set can arise
Or something else in disguise
Isn't payback grand
Comes always at my land
oh, I see! I've never heard of 'flips' before. Well, that cake is beautiful! I love buttermilk in a chocolate cake!
Deleteour own room?
Deletehow about a kitchen to share?
we'd whip up some fabulous fare!
haha
@Cat
Deletepfft, you ebil feline, you're jealous you always burn your kitchen when you enter it not having Petsy's and mine divine cooking talent....
@Petsy
and that was one of the uglier editions of that cake, I usually make it prettier for the customers :)
I always use buttermilk or sour cream in my batters, since I usually don't use eggs.
@Cat
Deleterecipes of doom? That reminds me that I need to make something dairy for your dinner, cat :P
Pfft then the cat will come use your loo
DeleteAnd the smell will surely be really ewww
I'll spray the loo top with chilly pepper, it will be a divine sensation on your bum...
DeleteI can hover really well though
DeleteAs out comes my dairy flow
I was enjoying all this talk of food and then this feline offender comes in and ruins it with his poo and his hovering arse. And really cat, dairy flow. That's disgusting even for you.
Delete@Dez that cake looks fantastic. Raisin and hazelnuts and made with buttermilk please.
#Petsy I'd like some pork fritters if you've got the time.
Cat do they have pork in Canada? I heard you guys only ate wild goats.
I think they eat mooseburgers.
DeleteI've never made a pork fritter, but I'd certainly try! Yum! And we can have Dez's cake for dessert!
I didn't know that Dez is into cooking and baking ~ looks yummy too ~
DeleteAnnzie, that was my thought exactly, here we have Petsy and me finally bringing a decent and refined conversation to his litter box and he comes talking about liquid poo. I rest my case on his ebilness.... And glad you liked the cake :) Petsy, you, me and Grace will enjoy the cake and make the cat suffer by making nom nom and slurp slurp noises :)
DeleteHey, I agree...he should have just served us coffee and left us alone!
Deleteit's probably better that he didn't serve us coffee, who knows what his idea of a coffee is....
DeleteDez,
DeleteI would like to hit snooze on you, you had already spoiled Pringles and now coffee too? I see Cat,Pat everywhere.
On other hand, maybe I dont want to, I can go on diet reading this
haha well it is my bay
DeleteSo I have to have my say
And whatever comes of it
Will surely cause a fit
As pringle cans abound
And all over they are found
Do they milk cats in Canada to make cream?
DeleteNot that I am aware
DeleteBut could be done at some lair
Dezz,
DeleteI just looked at the FB recipes - loved them! I have two questions. First one is about the pasta dish; is the only thing making the pasta red the paprika? AND how often do you update your FB page with entree's?
More recipe stuff
DeleteGeez the cat is going to have to get rough
@Elsie
Deletethere's a whole album there with my food :) called DEZZ IN THE KITCHEN, just look at the photo section and you will find it. The recipes are usually in the first comment under each pics (mostly).
Yes, paprika is the only thing making the pasta red. Maybe our paprika is different, we are one of the biggest producers of it in the world :)
I think it's a conspiracy against Americans. You Canadians invented Canadian bacon, hated it, and then dumped it on American soil after telling us how wonderful it is. Then you had the nerve to deny it as a country. Hmph... Just give in to your bacon and be proud!!!
ReplyDeleteyep...I think you're on to something there, Jax! :) We wouldn't name it Canadian Bacon...if it was something really yummy and we invented it, we would have called it American! It had to come from Canada with a name like that!
DeleteFrench kiss is called as English kiss in France, heard so. Not relevant?
DeletePfft don't blame your dumb naming things on us
DeleteNo Canadians know of your ham short bus
So it was done by you
And your american crew
Pfft you can deny all you want
But it was created at your haunt
Ummm relevant maybe not
But fun a whole lot
Hahaha. I've always thought that about "canadian bacon" and am not a fan. I don't like ham. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I don't recommend ordering bacon in Ireland either. It is more like ham.
Geez ham all around
DeleteI guess many like it to be found
In Canada, milk comes in bags...or so I've heard. Never knew that bacon was ham and ham was bacon in Canada either. You guys have everything mixed up :P
ReplyDeletePffft you mixed it up down below
DeleteWe are right at our show
hahahaha…I've always said to people, that I just don't get this Canadian bacon thing, just looks like ham to me..well I guess I was right lol guess I never had CB then, but that ham stuff is only good in sandwiches or spiraled with that sweet, sweet honey taste….It's funny though, nobody over here, me obviously included, seems to actually know the difference, it's always been delivered as is, and no questions asked…and you'd think with all the Canadian traffic from Ft. Erie, Toronto, NF and St. Catharines, someone would have said something by now, guess that just proves they chose or knew better not to dine in NY.
ReplyDeleteIt is funny though, because if you blindfold 10 people around here and make them take a drink of two beers, they'd be able to pick the Canadian one out without a second to spare, but when it comes to ham, we are truly blindfolded to this CB scam.
Fun and informative
I know the difference! Canadian bacon is cut from the back of the pig. Ham is cut from the hips! :)
DeleteLOL blinded in every way
DeleteDown at your American bay
I think you need to make up a big sign
Telling all not to dine
As CB is not bacon what so ever
And they think they are clever
Pffft riiiight!
I'll believe that when pigs take flight
I'm being serious now. I always did wonder why it was called Canadian Bacon when it's ham. The first time I got it was on a pizza and I was expecting some kind of crispy maple bacon and was surprised when it was ham. I even went to the grocers to find it and there it was Canadian Bacon. It came in a very small package and was really expensive and I knew this stuff wasn't being imported from Canada and said WTF?
DeleteYeah I think they must use the name
DeleteTo make it sound less tame
So they can charge way more for it
That is the only thing I can make of their stupid ham fit
why don't you believe me? I even checked on google before commenting to make sure I had my facts right!
DeleteIt's a load of crap
DeleteWritten on google by some sap
Oh my, had a good laugh at some of the comments above. Sorry to hear that the Canadian Bacon was not bacon. Like you, I prefer bacon - ham is a bit err... lame.
ReplyDeleteOver here, food differs according to state although they have the same name. To make things easier, they now add the name of the state behind the original name of the food, so people know what they're digging into.
Well at least that makes it easier to view
DeleteSome should make that come due
I prefer bacon as well
As ham just is not swell
Ha, they do that a lot, not the first time I hear about things like this.
ReplyDeleteYeah they do it a lot
DeleteBut such names can rot
Hahaha, smell of ham brought out the inner beast in cat. I cant stop laughing at your rant cat, love this.
ReplyDeleteI smell something fishy about India there, has anything to do with Sushi? :)
"Do you two wish to have your own room
To drool and compare recipes of doom? "
So, Cat and Pat would drool over Pringle cans?
Pringle cans no longer makes Pat drool
DeleteAs he stopped eating so many like a fool
And you can have your fish
LMAO a rant is what came of such a dish
Canadian bacon canadian syrup... Hmmm
ReplyDeleteBoth a crock
DeleteBut that is no shock
I call bacon and ham pig meat
ReplyDeleteIt all is basically the same treat
Not if it is turkey bacon
DeleteThat you are makin
gooble
Deletebobble
Bubble bobble was good
DeleteTry it you should
I'd of sent it back...bacon should be bacon
ReplyDeleteYeah that is should
DeleteIn every single hood
Another name for jam? Yeah--jelly.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the differences in names makes much sense, either. Standardization, come on . . .
Yeah they need to be more of the same
DeleteSo people don't order something lame
I'm still confused about the fork...am I just tired? What did I miss? Why don't you have forks?
ReplyDeleteYou should have stuck with home fries - they are yummy!
I just used the fork to rhyme
DeleteSo I didn't have to stab a mime
I hate Canadian bacon. And yeah, I don't get why it's just not called American crap. They should flush it all down those gold toilets at Trump's lair!
ReplyDeleteLOL I agree
DeleteThat would be a sight to see
They do veggie bacon now, well its soya, which is just this mushroom grown in these huge vats and then they colour it, and pump it full of flavourings. In other words, it is probably more unhealthy than a McDonalds burger. Everything is down to marketing. The one thing i always found interesting in America is they don't say 'sugar' they say 'sweet and low' or name a brand of sugar. They always refer to the brand, never to the product.That is the power of advertising. Did you read the latest news about meat that companies stick bits of meat together with dried blood so it looks like a complete piece of meat when in reality its a composite from different animals.
ReplyDeleteBlah never read that one
DeleteThat is nasty by a ton
But doesn't surprise me one bit
That they would do it
Never know what we eat
Nothing is truly ever a treat
That's terrible. Ham is not bacon...
ReplyDeleteNo it is not
DeleteSo they can rot
thankfully I don't live in Canada and don't have to be confused by such things
ReplyDeleteYeah confusing
DeleteAs those americans start abusing
Great rhymes Pat, there's a definite difference between both places for sure.
ReplyDeleteYep differences are had
DeleteWhich was found out by the Pat lad
