Bacon
There is no doubt that of all the dirty edible substances on the planet, bacon is in its own league. Most people, and all dogs, would agree that bacon is one of the most beautiful creations of man. If one could build a time machine and travel far back in history to meet the ancient wise man who learned how to cure and cook bacon, it would be not waste of effort if but to shake his hand.
Now in the modern era we have perfected cooking bacon, either solitary strips of succulent pig or by sprinkling the delicious substance on anything. 99.9% of all bacon eaters would eat a stick wrapped in bacon. Bacon is beautiful, bacon is sexy, bacon is, well… bacon.
However, Canadian bacon is absolutely not bacon, because it’s ham.
