Lat night me and Old Sam enjoyed the evening with freinds, food, music, fireworks, and of course a nice cool pool in the backyard.
We did our part-had some of your bacon for lunch[;)].
Do they have a Fourth of July in Canada?
( I know…it’s an old one…)[:-,]
I know this is a day late,but a happy belated Canada Day to those Forum members in the Great White North![:)][:D][8D][:p]
Detroit, MI, and Windsor, ON, used to get together on the two holidays and have one huge fireworks display. The fireworks were shot off barges in the Detroit River. One year one of the barges caught fire, creating quite the display in and of itself…
Better get new batteries for the calculator. Mine says 139 years from 1867 to 2006.

Check my posting date.( 2005 )This a year old thread .
OK Don’t Americans have bacon in the U.S. ?? And the “Great White North” is where ? ?
AS 98% of all Canadians live very very close to the U.S. border we live in the South ! there are a few people who live up North, but we don’t really concern ourselves with them. So the great white North to us is Nunavit and the Arctic and some other new territories which I haven’t remembered yet. and have a happy 4th and don’t forget your passports when you come up to visit.
Yeah, but it’s not CANADIAN bacon!
We may live in the south, but in my part of the Great White South, it DOES snow every month of the year! (Just not all months in a given year!)
Mystery Solved: From wikipedia: “Back Bacon” is known as “Canadian Bacon” in the U.S. but NOT in Canada. In Canada “Canadian Bacon” is traditionally unsmoked back bacon that has been pickle cured and coated in yellow cornmeal, Canadian bacon in the U.S. is plain lean back bacon. American bacon is very fatty slab bacon from the underside of a pig, usually cured and smoked. Now the mystery has been solved. All one has to do here is look on the package which says “Back Bacon”
Peameal bacon is what you’re describing, although I could never work that one out as it wasn’t made from peas…
HJ: Peameal Bacon in the past was a mixture of ground yellow peas used for coating to improve curing and shelf life. better get back to “train” stuff" eh ?
