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.

    You are missing out... so much. A good steak sandwich is the food of the gods, especially at half time of the second match on super Saturday,.. and again half way through the first half of the third match. Ask your chef wife to work it out out for you, she will have the talent to get it riiiiggghhhttt ... a bad streak sandwich is a dead shame but aches will know how to turn a cheap cut and a nice bit of baguette into a proper snack

    It's not a UK thing I've ever heard of and I've lived in Wales, England, and Scotland.

    Hawaiian pizza was, however, invented in Canada

    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.

    It's as Canadian as curry and hot pot.

    Wait until you find out about German Chocolate Cake.

    That one is so odd because I just think confusion was what they were going for, at least when copying the original recipe. The original recipe specified the use of "German's Sweet Chocolate". Which also isn't German, but named after a guy called Samuel German. But they dropped the possessive s and nobody wonders why a German cake would contain pecans.

    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

    Judging by that picture the UK is not being kind to us.
