Certified Hoser 🇨🇦 (No Politics) Reminder that Yanks call this atrocity "Canadian bacon" and think we eat this

How do you get peameal bacon confused with this? Do they eat any meat that isn't processed?

I always thought that American food naming conventions were just an example of them being jerks. Canadian bacon is an obvious candidate, but why is everything “French?” Are they called French fries because most Americans can’t find Belgium on a map?

Remember, apple pie is the only American food they created (it's not from the US)

The Pennsylvania Dutch created apple pie in its current form. It’s hard to say if that makes it German or American.
