I've mostly heard bacon being called slices or strips. It took me a while to get used to British bacon and now I miss it.

Das Boo posted:I saw the word "rasher" and without ever having heard it before or even knowing what it was, I knew it must be British. Wrong! Irish actually - Swords is in north county Dublin, but to be fair, we do use a lot of the same food terminology as they do over there. Choco1980 posted:I've heard the UK keeps the bones in the bacon. Confirm/Deny? I'm only familiar with irish rashers and I'd cautiously deny this - you might occasionally come across a hard bit but it wouldn't be a regular thing.

British but vegetarian, but if you find bones in your bacon you should probably sue the pig

Maybe in Britain, but over here suing pigs just gets you constant harassment.

I never saw bones in my bacon. Here are some bacons: Left is Canadian, upper right is US and lower right is British. All of them are delicious.

Nobody in Canada calls that bacon. That's ham. Canadians do have a unique bacon, called peameal bacon. It's basically the round part of the English bacon rolled in cornmeal, pickled and sliced. You want to call something 'Canadian bacon,' it should be that.

When I was a kid, giving someone a "rasher" was a common school prank - you used a swift swipe of steel ruler to "slice" a rasher off their arse, all done while shouting "Rasher!" Fun times.

The exact way they get around it is by having opinion shows where people say crazy poo poo, then news shows that report on the crazy poo poo that people said. It's rather brilliant, actually.
