Anyone who's serious enough about their bacon will slice it themselves.

Call it by the proper designation, which is my intention BG, American bacon versus Candadian Bacon versus English Bacon etc.
This is partly my intent as well. I'm suggesting that Canadian bacon is, indeed, different than American bacon. In my lifetime, I've eaten far more pounds of American bacon than I have Canadian bacon. They are different products.

For example:

Q: What would I prefer to place next to my poached eggs and toast?

A: American bacon

Q: What would I prefer to criss-cross my hamburger with?

A: American bacon

Q: What would I prefer to crumble over my Caesar salad?

A: American bacon

Q: What would I prefer to make a sandwich out of, using a freshly baked kaiser or biscuit, topped only with a bit of melted cheese (if anything)?

A: Peameal bacon

Q: What would I prefer to chop up and use as a garnish in pea soup?

A: Back bacon

Q: What would I prefer to top my pizza with?

A: Peameal bacon, back bacon, American bacon, any damn bacon, dammit!
