3. ...canadian bacon...?
I never saw the stuff until I moved to the States - I think it's more prevalent in the western provinces, and I'm from QC...

24. Streaky bacon?
That's what we Brits call the only bacon seemingly available in the US; and we use the term 'back bacon' too.

8. I like to think...
...everywhere that has some foodstuff or dish named after it simply uses "our" or "here" when describing it themselves. Hence, Lamb Madras becomes Lamb Here, English Muffins become Our Muffins, and French Fries become Nos Frites.

20. We have hoardes across the river in Detroit, too
I can't believe that they are actually protected animals. If only we could hunt them-one could feed a family for a few meals.

21. I'm no hunter, far from it. . .
. . .but something really should be done about them. They're lazy now, too, it seems they don't even bother to fly south any more.

29. American cheese is still American cheese in the U.S.
So there's that.

Of course bland, tasteless, mass-produced, lowest common denominator cheese has to be American cheese, but that's another subject.
