Nixonsbest and Worst Breakfasts

[passport220]

^Err, I think the wikipedia page you reference confirms my point.  The "Canadian bacon" from the loin, also called "back bacon" on the wiki page but not ever just plain "bacon". The strips of pork belly, USA style bacon is simply called bacon.

 

I think it is all fine and good. I like it all and eat up without complaint. However,  I do think restaurants could use better terms to describe what they are serving so customers won't be disappointed when their order arrives.

Your cultural bias is showing!

 

What Brits and Americans call bacon is different. There is no right or wrong here.

^ Call it the Brit version, American, Ausie...I don't care but it is not all the same cut of meat and does not need to all be called by the one simple name of "bacon". Something more descriptive can and should be used to let a customer know what they are getting. IMHO

We have had this debate more than once on this thread, maybe passport should go back and read the whole thread!...;)

What Brits and Americans call cigarettes are different too.

Canadian (back) bacon really seems like the thing we call Kassler here. Us and the Germans, mind you. I guess I will have to go over to the land of maples and mounties to sample it and see if it's indeed the same thing (just sliced thinner).

What pictures !

My mouth is watering, thanks

I like the first pic for sure.

Benedict's

 

This place keeps kicking goals, Melbourne quality at Asian prices!..

 

 

 

 

Beef bacon, Pickled red onion, Hollandaise sauce and semi dried tomatoes @ $9.60, I am starting to like the beef bacon and are a sucker for pickled red onion.

 

 

 

 

Asian fused soft boiled scotch egg in chicken mince, with katsuobushi and Japanese mayo @ $4.20, I had to try one and well worth it, this place takes it to the next level!...

I just came back from Vegas, do they know breakfast there. When to Roberto's Taco shop for a breakfast burrito w/ bacon, was it huge had to be 4 eggs, all for $4. The green sauce is great. Then went to Lou's Diner on Decatur, if you are ever there you must go, Saturday at 9:15 every seat taken, Had the Curtis Haystack, they should call it the heart attack morning. Hash browns, 2 halfs biscuits, 2 strips of bacon, 2 over easy eggs all covered in breakfast gravy, only wish there were 2 full biscuits split and sausage gravy. Someone needs to go here and see how Americans do breakfast, they do it right. All I know is I feel sorry for the girl sitting next to me on the plane, All the eggs and cream from the breakfast gravy I was farting the entire flight, I farted so hard I woke myself up.

Pardon my ignorance but i hear the term biscuits used often when Americans describe food,but what are they exactly,biscuits to me are something i have with a cup of tea or coffee!

They are quite similar to a scone.

Just a fluffy southern style bread, buttery and crumbly, great with a sausage gravy. Once you have them you will understand.

Think unsweetened scone and you're close-ish.

surprised you never went to Peppermil on the strip, the best in Vegas, huge place and always a line for a table, and worth the wait.  Huge menu, big portions, reasonable prices and the food perfect
