I took my wife to Australia as a surprise for her birthday (got her all the way to the airport, having already packed for her, before she learned what was going on), and now having had Australian bacon, I realize how inferior American bacon is. UK bacon is also excellent. Never had Canadian bacon. Not that Americans need even more lethal styles of bacon here to exacerbate our obesity epidemic.

Isn't that what pizza hut puts on their pizza when someone orders ham and bacon?

Hey Watch what you say about bacon here
I eat it almost every morning .. in fact if it weren't for bacon, I dont know if I could have pulled off losing 30 lbs !!! I have been on a modified Paleo Diet for almost a year and honestly its one of the few things that I got to look forward to !!! Its the carbs and sugars that are the killers here but sadly few seem to realize that ...
Sorry for the OT but I gotta stand up for my bacon
Best regards
Ed

A few thoughts:

* if the wife can't drive manual, that seems all the more reason to get a manual in my book

* I love bacon, but taylor ham (I'm from Jersey) > any bacon

* "sanitary napkin" - I'm definitely stealing that

Ok, I've contributed nothing to this thread.

Coming from NJ, Pizza Hut, Papa John's, and Dominos don't make pizza. It's some kind of food item, but it ain't pizza that's for sure, lol!

And yes, Canadian bacon is delicious.

Reminds me, a large pizza box should fit in the GT4 frunk, correct?

HA! Totally forgot about that Canadian bacon. Yes I've definitely had that, and I do like it. No idea how it compares to bacon in Canada though. After all, nobody in England eats English muffins, and Chinese food here bears zero resemblance to food in China.

Oh believe me, I enjoy my share of American bacon too, but that doesn't stop me from admitting when someone else has it better. I know carbs are the real killers (sugar is a carb), but although I'm fortunate in that regard not to have a taste for beer (love this comic), I love bread and sugary stuff too much to put much of a dent in my carb intake, even though I could definitely stand to lose some weight. Congrats on losing 30 lbs though!
