Do you mean Montreal smoked meat?
I feel like most <country name> <food name> things are not from that country. And if they are (or also if they are not), they are called some thing different there.
Fun german fact: Frankfurter sausages and Wiener (Vienna) sausages are the same, but in Frankfurt they are called Wiener, and in Vienna they are called Frankfurter
Hawaiian pizza was, however, invented in Canada
Canadian dollar bills have the Norwegian maple on them. But Norwegian “watch out for moose crossing the road” signs have a drawing of a Canadian moose on them.
It’s an exchange program.
Apparently it’s a UK thing. Never heard of it.
(I’m from the USA. FWIW)
Never heard of it. Lived in England/Wales for 59 years… Will ask wife, who was a chef.
Ok. So now I know it’s what is used in steak sandwiches.
I have never heard or read its name before - mostly because it is sold in places I don’t frequent (or by food wholesalers) but also because I don’t often have steak sandwiches.
Every day is a school day I guess.
Also never heard of it. Irish, so right next door.
Reminds me of Americans obsessing over “Canadian bacon” and showing me pictures of slabs of ultra processed meat that I’ve never seen before in my life. Closest we’ve got is back bacon and that’s leagues above the crap they call “Canadian” bacon.
“Canadian bacon” is peameal bacon right? That shit’s delicious but while I’ve always assumed that’s what Americans meant by Canadian bacon, I’ve never been sure
edit: oh yeah I’m completely wrong and have never seen anything like that really
edit 2: okay there’s some truth to my original comment. Peameal bacon is the best and everyone who eats meat should try it
“Canadian bacon” is just ham, but we only call it that when it’s on a pizza. I have no idea why it’s called that. I prefer to just call it “ham”, but I have had pretty mixed results when trying to order “ham” on a pizza.
Canadian bacon comes from the back (as in, near the back bone) of the pig. Ham comes from the other back (as in, the butt)… Which isn’t to be confused with the pork butt (also called pork shoulder) from the front, typically used for pulled pork.
Wait until you find out about German Chocolate Cake.
Or baked Alaska. Or French fries. Or…
Confirmed. No clue what the fuck this is supposed to be.
Never heard of it.
Next you’ll tell me French toast isn’t.
Steak whatnow?
It’s as Canadian as curry and hot pot.
Had to look it up, it’s a breakfast sandwich from England. "Beef Canadian“ slices which are apparently roast beef or something similar, fried mushrooms and onions, cheddar cheese, and either ketchup or maple syrup.
Honestly, not too bad sounding. Put it on rye or pumpernickel, maybe a thick roll and pan fried like a melt.
I’m with you - I’ve never seen it served in Canada, but it sounds like it’s made with flavours that Canadians tend to like, so I’m fine with it. Better than having rotten fish or jello salads attributed to us
Toast Hawaii isn’t from Hawaii either
Judging by that picture the UK is not being kind to us.
I’m in Uncanada and I don’t know what it is
