And what do they call fries in France? And what do they call regular bacon in Canada? I think it's funny that we both posted about some form of muffins, busy. :)
We just call it bacon. The stuff you call canadian bacon is either "canadian bacon" or "back bacon". Sometimes we say "side bacon" to make it clear that we mean regular and not back bacon. Especially on pizza, where back bacon is the more common variety.
French fries in France are "pommes frites", or "fried apples" literally. Which seems weird, except that the word for potatoes is "pomme de terre" or "earth apples". The weirder thing is that in Germany they are still called "Pommes frites" even though the german word for potato is "Kartoffeln" and "to fry" is "braten".
wow, how do you know all that, josh?? and why do they call it 'back bacon'? and why 'side bacon' for the normal stuff? it sure is backwards there in canada! ;) (just kidding:)
direct descendents of Joan of Arc, really? I don't think she had any time for kids! :) Josh says "because that's where it comes from." I think that is too much information! :)
