10 Years of Sandwiches

The Tribunal has been writing about sandwiches for 10 years now, and if we've learned anything, it's to eat more sandwiches!

10 years ago today, on August 21, 2014, I registered the domain sandwichtribunal.com. A Quick Recap I’ve told the story before but essentially, early in 2014 my friends Josh and Thom and I started tweeting pictures of sandwiches at each other, basically bragging about the delicious things we were eating. We started calling ourselves the Sandwich Tribunal in jest. @dodecaphonix @El_Josharino 2…

We went to St. Lawrence Market again, only this time we decided to get some actual food!

We went to Paddington’s Pump, the only full-service/sit-down restaurant in the market, and it lived up to the promises of generous portions and friendly service. I went with their famous peameal bacon sandwich with cheddar (as recommended by my server), while M opted for the Montreal-style smoked meat sandwich, which is like pastrami but a little saltier. Both were really damn good, and it always makes me so happy when a tourist-friendly spot lives up to the hype and delivers a satisfying meal. 

I did a quick spin around the main market level to take photos after our lunch, definitely influenced by seeing the market featured in the promotional material for the latest season of Top Chef that’s set in Canada.

National Canadian Bacon Day

For meat lovers, there’s not much that is better than good old slices of yummy bacon! In sandwiches, fried up on a breakfast plate, served in pancakes, even served with syrup – bacon is the meat candy of the world and has more than its fair share of dedicated fans!

But, then, there are different kinds of bacon to enjoy in different capacities– and one of them is Canadian bacon, as it is known in the United States.

Many people think that Canadian bacon is a little more like ham than actual bacon, because of the way it is served. Made from back bacon and formed into a cylindrical shape, this type of meat is sold ready to eat.

History of National Canadian Bacon Day

According to rumor, Canadian bacon may have once upon a time been known as ‘peameal bacon’. This is because the ham was prepared with brine and then rolled in ground-up dried yellow peas that would extend the meat’s shelf life. The versatility of the product led to it being quite popular and useful, especially for those who were in a hurry to prepare a meaty meal.

Today, Canadian bacon is still cured, but it is usually rolled in yellow cornmeal instead of the dried yellow peas. But the composition of the savory treat remains the same – cut from the loin and served unsmoked in thick, circular slices. This is a leaner cut of pork than standard bacon, making it a slightly healthier choice for those trying to cut down on the amount of fat they eat.

If you were to go to Canada and ask for Canadian bacon, you might be met with a few confused looks. In Canada, it is usually known instead as ‘back bacon’, or simply ‘ham’. If you just asked for bacon in Canada, you would likely receive the same streaky pork belly slices that you’d be used to in the United States.

National Canadian Bacon Day was created in celebration and honor of this tasty, versatile meat from the land that is beloved for ice hockey, maple syrup, and, of course, this type of bacon.

How to Celebrate National Canadian Bacon Day

Celebrating National Canadian Bacon Day brings with it the obvious choice of partaking in a meal that includes (or, better yet, is centered around) Canadian Bacon. Most likely this will be eaten for breakfast, but it doesn’t have to be.

The great news is that even folks who don’t know how to do much cooking can make this simple pork cut into something delectable. Even the most inexperienced of cooks can make a go of it on National Canadian Bacon Day!

Try these ideas for celebrating:

Serve a Canadian Bacon Dish

Canadian bacon is so versatile, there are plenty of recipes you could try your hand at on this day to celebrate this tasty cured meat. Because of the way it is prepared and sold, it is not even necessary to cook Canadian bacon before it is served, either, so it’s excellent for those people who are on a tight schedule.

Or, consider these other simple options for serving up Canadian bacon in honor of the delicious day:

When in a hurry, simply frying up an egg and serving it with a couple of slices of Canadian bacon will be a perfect start to the day.

Or place a slice of this tasty meat into a toasted English muffin with an egg. Add some hollandaise sauce for a super tasty savory treat!

Other delicious options include folding Canadian bacon into omelets easily enough, or chop it into small squares and throw it into a pasta dish.

Those who have a frozen pizza that’s looking a bit sad could also sprinkle on some cuts of Canadian bacon and tomato sauce to really jazz things up and go from boring to wow!

Give a Nod to All Things Canadian

When enjoying the delightfulness of Canadian Bacon, why not take time out to appreciate some other great things that this northern nation has to offer? Canada is known for more than just the obvious ice hockey and maple syrup! It’s a country filled with beautiful landscapes and some of the friendliest people.

Just a few of the things that people love about Canada include:

Clean Air. Due to its natural forests, low population density, as well as a commitment to clean energy, Canada provides some of the cleanest breathing air on the planet.

Scenery. Some of the most beautiful, unadulterated nature in the world lies in this country. From the snow-capped Rocky Mountains to Niagara Falls, from deep forests to sparkling oceanic coasts, this country offers much to be enjoyed.

Diversity. Filled with descendants of immigrants, Canada is a fairly young nation with various languages and cultures that supply it with a rich variety and a welcome feeling.

Get Breakfast at Tim Hortons

While there’s no guarantee that all of the Tim Hortons franchise stores serve Canadian bacon, many of them do have breakfast sandwiches that contain this special meat. Since more Canadians eat breakfast at Tim Hortons than any other restaurant, it seems like the perfect place to soak up some northern exposure.

Tim Hortons locations can be found in North America, Central America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Enjoy Some Canadian Entertainment

While gobbling up a breakfast that includes this yummy cured pork, why not be entertained by Canadians? Some stellar comedians, musicians, and actors hail from here (and they are probably celebrating National Canadian Bacon Day every day!).

Where you the one I told about peameal bacon? I can’t remeber… but alas. I get penal bacon

Bologna

[kodiackwrites]

B&B, Bulking boys

Konig, Soap & Ghost- Fluffy? Non canon, pretend Konigs in 141, Proof read!! Part 2 soon

You owned a large b&b that military men have found themselves in every time they return home from a mission together, their own little tradition of spending time together.

You knew they’d smoke and drink despite your clear rules, But they were mature men and always made sure to take care of the space so you didn’t give it much mind.

You’d never learnt their real names, But they’d refer to each other as Ghost, Konig & Soap.

You’d always supply the men with breakfast each morning, 7:20 sharp. Before they’d leave for the gym, but today was different.

The usual tray of 4 bacon strips, one sunny side up egg, scrambled for Soap, and a quarter cup of hash browns was left outside each bedroom door on the upstairs of the building, and twenty minutes later the men would come down and leave for the gym.

But they didn’t leave this morning, all three of them made themselves comfortable in the common living room. “Don’t you three have somewhere to be?” You asked kindly, looking up from your book. it took a moment for the man sat in the lazy boy to speak up, “It’s bulking season las, we’ve got nowhere to be other than the kitchen.” He spoke, the Scottish one, Soap. “Ah.” You responded.

You of course took this into account the next morning, and placed three new dishes out side of the men’s rooms for breakfast, 2 pieces of Peameal(Canadian) bacon, 2 eggs on toast, and some shredded chicken on a wrap with lettuce.

Of course making all this food took longer then the usual, so it was 7:26 when you placed the last tray, seeing the tallest man open his door to retrieve his food, Konig.

He looked down at the tray, and over to you, “Trying something new?” He asked, you hesitantly nodded. “It won’t affect your price sir, I just figured you boys would need a bit more food to start your mornings.” You said with a smile, He grinned.

(This wasn’t supposed to be this long but maybe part 2? My phones gonna die so sorry for the cut off I just wanna get this out,anywho, PLEASE MORE BULKING MEN PLEWSE IM BEGGIJG ON MY HANDS AND KNEEs)

If something isn't on here check my previous poll

Further description and pictures below

Coffee Crisp

Chocolate bar with alternating wafers and a coffee flavoured candy filling is good (and I say this as someone who dislikes coffee)

Ketchup Chips

Exactly like it says chips with ketchup flavouring (personally I find the vinegar flavouring in them to strong)

Canadian Bacon

Look if you like bacon you'll like this. It's so good, very lean and not nearly as greasy as side/ regular bacon (has a bit of a hammy taste tbh)

Hawaiin Pizza

Everyone knows it, it's Pineapple and Ham Pizza, I regret to inform that it was an invention of Canada

Timbits

They may be donut holes but they are like quintessential Canadian.

Girl Guide Cookies

Girl Scouts can keep their dozen or so cookie types. All I need is some Classic Chocolate and Vanilla or Chocolate Mint. Sold in Spring and Winter

Maple Cream Cookies

What's more Canadian then a Maple Cookie. Very sweet but oh so tasty

Caeser

An alcoholic Cocktail made of, Vodka, Clamato (Primarily Tomato Juice and Clam broth with seasoning) hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce. Rim is coated in Celery Salt.

Basically like a bloody Mary but what distinguishes it from that is the Clam Broth.

I don't get it but people like it

Kraft Dinner/KD

Not Canadian Originated growing up on this stuff it's basically Canadian enough to me. (Also the packaging is different up here anyway)

Mackintosh Toffee

I mean it's toffee- specifically in Canada it's more of a hard candy then soft (like it was originally in the UK)

[imsososolesbian]

I had mozzarella sticks today

I had peameal bacon… so fucking gooddd I hope your mozzarella was good

[gsirvitor]

American bacon or Canadian bacon? 🥓

Depends on the recipe used, or the lack of recipe.

Peameal bacon can be cooked as a roast, and then sliced to make sandwiches, it's more akin to a pork roast than bacon.

Bacon however, can be used in many dishes, on a sandwich, hotdog and so on.

If I'm on a diet however, peameal over bacon.

[thewolverinet78]

hello, mr wolverine guy. i am a fellow Canadian (newfoundlander) and I'm here to ask your favorite Canadian food. i like fish and brewis and toutons, but those things are mostly newfie meals.

Peameal bacon. Yum.

[beefrobeefcal]

Hello sweet Beefaroni!!! If you could make breakfast for any P-Boy while on vacation, what would you make him and where would you want to travel to? Ilysm!!!!!!!

Ahoy, Scout Nevy!

The who, where, and what of vacay breakkies? Imma have to go with...

Jack 'Whiskey' Daniels! I'd squirrel him away to a cabin in the Canadian Rockies and make French toast and peameal bacon. Why?

If this man partakes in his name sake the way I think he does, this breakfast can help withe hangover from hell he'll more than likely be nursing... that and I don't want to serve sausage or any other ground meats. I don't want to traumatize the guy.

Thanks for the ask, @neverwheremoonchild!

Yours in sin,

Beefro👌🥩💜

Freeing this person by informing them Canadian bacon is not actually Canadian but it does suck. Peameal bacon on the other hand 🤩
