What's wrong with the bacon in Canada? I thought you could get both back (Canadian style) and streaky (US style)?

The bacon in Canada is like streaky bacon...no back bacon at all....we'd better stock up before we go...

I like streaky bacon, so I don't care, but thought you could get back bacon too....

Not all bacon on Canada is streaky.

You can buy back bacon if you care to look for it.

Do you want it sliced and pre-packaged or in one piece so you can slice it yourself.

Saw both at Real Canadian Superstore on Thursday.

Although I would say back bacon is readily available in any of the large chain type grocery stores.

I'm always open to bribery although Fruit Gums would be my choice.

Why thank you my dear.

I'm going to be really worried if they actually show up.

I'm just so glad I can get my favourite Fry's Turkish Delight in Bulk Barn now, the kids love having Buttons again and the OH gets a Yorkie. I went in around Christmas time and the shop assistant told me the woman before me (also English) spent $120 on English food, so someone had a good Christmas! We miss Monster Munch crisps and my OH misses Chocolate Hob Nobs !
