Funny thing is, I know that stuff on the left is called Canadian bacon, but as someone who has lived in Canada my whole life, I don't know any Canadians who think of that when they're thinking about bacon. Don't get me wrong, it's tasty, but it's not bacon.

So Canadian bacon is a myth?
Cool, I have more respect for you guys now

If Sheogorath had an egg cheese and bacon omelet, he might actually behave himself more often.

But knowing him, he'd just curse us all to spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam and spam, keeping all the bacon and cheese tied up in an epic, neverending Daedric quiche.

That was a good lol
Also mmmm...quiche

The Orsimer have actually developed one of the most brilliant inventions to this end. Only certain types of wild boar grow large enough for this particular use, and it is rumored that seeking out such swine was a contributing factor to the Orsimer diaspora.

First, they cut the bellymeat off and shave it down into a cylindrical or conical shape. Then they skewer it on a spit (but NOT over a fire!) which can rotate freely in its sockets. Using a system of rawhide belts, gears, and push-treadmills, the warriors work together to get the meat spinning at extreme velocities like how an unnecessarily complicated lathe might do. Finally, the Carver approaches with a specially-forged knife that can cut in strips, much like a cheese slicer. They press the knife to the turning flesh (making sure the direction of the turn is AWAY from them, of course) and drag it along the length. As it spins, the knife carves out a great strip in a continuous stream, so long as the Carver keeps the blade moving at an even pace. A carver's skill is measured by the number of distinct meat ribbons they create, with one single strip being considered "pretty good".

The strips are then fried in very long metal searing trenches to accommodate their length, and each hunter is allowed exclusive privilege to the "Long Pig" that they personally downed. Sometimes a new, bigger searing trench must be commissioned from the Forge Wife on account of acquiring an especially large hog, and a party is held in the hunter's honor.

Btw (not bacon but ESO food related), I found some of these "Orcish Bratwurst on Bun" recipes, is "Bratwurst" also a word used in the English language? Because that's a German word.. like Sauerkraut, or Gesundheit, or Kindergarten (which are used by Americans). I'm German myself, so I'm just curious^^

Bratwurst is used all over the world because bratwurst is the name of a specific type of German sausage so the word doesn't get translated. Just like pepperoni is an Italian word but is still peperoni in German, or Bolognese doesn't translate, and snickers would still be snickers in German, and so on.

Actually, Bratwurst although used in the UK is not especially well known. And Snickers was changed years ago from Marathon (yes, I'm old enough to remember (and prefer) Marathon bars!).

Although many German words (or word parts) crop up in English because of the routes of the language.

As for the American language... the whole world knows they use terms for all sorts of things that have no baring on anything except marketing. Try offering a French Fry to a French national and you would get knocked out with a garlic string

"Fus ro bacon."

Umm..
Bacon is Red.
Red is EP..

There ALREADY IS BACON, and I am it apparently.

RUN,, RUN..Run for your lives.

Well.... I don't think of it as 'bacon' either, but it's pretty good on pizza with green/bell peppers and pineapple.

You've actually just described my favorite pizza. That's exactly what I typically order when I get pizza.

Knew you had good taste!

I love that this thread is still going. It's like a bacon-version of the popcorn thread...

I love Bacon really. But not that rubbish Americans call bacon!

I'm curious as to the difference. As an American, I love thin sliced crispy bacon served still hot after parking briefly on paper towels to get the worst of the grease off (because frying bacon SHOULD render a pan of grease).

I've seen thicker sliced bacon, but its not crispy enough

Standard American bacon is cut from the belly, English bacon and most EU bacon is from the back, it's a very different flavour, American has a lot more fat in it and thus a more fatty taste so doesn't need to be smoked and cured whereas most English bacon will be either smoked or cured to give it flavour. In the UK we do also have a similar bacon to the American type which we call streaky bacon.

Canadian bacon on the left, American bacon/Streaky Bacon top right and English/Danish bacon bottom right.

I call it Baconsteak

Thanks for the culinary lesson, @Belidos Yes, I am streaky/American bacon all the way - I see bacon as a serving of fat, not a serving of meat.

Yet the traditional way to cook American bacon is to cook it until all the fat has been cooked off and it's dry and crisp, where as the traditional way of cooking English bacon is to fry it in a pan until it just start to brown, leaving most of the fat intact

I agree, it does taste very similar to ham, but it is very different.

Canadian bacon is from the pork loin or in some brands the sirloin, whereas ham is from the hind quarters and leg of the pig. Canadian bacon is salted and cured, but ham is not.

Oddly enough Canadian bacon is healthier for you than ham, it contains fewer calories, fewer carbohydrates, has more protein and more sodium than ham.
