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…

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!).

Sarah McLachlan

Neil Young

Celine Dion

Peameal bacon… For those wondering

[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)

[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👌🥩💜

[sysmedsaresexist]

No, excuse you, who would do that

My syscourse hot take:

Pineapple is honestly pretty tasty on pizza, people who dislike it largely haven’t even tried it

disagree. I've had it and it was unacceptable. why would you want to subject yourself to such horrors

[have-you-eaten-this]

Peameal bacon (which Americans will know as Canadian bacon)

[valeffelees]

hey, g'morn ☀️

i really have no respect for the sanctity of the word "snippet". save for a short scene between aggie and simon, and all of the simon and baz interactions i'm hoarding, y'all've read pretty much the entire first chapter of bitverse via my wipsday posts lmfao

but that's okay, i have no regrets ��

this'll prolly read best if you've read [this snippet] first, but you don't have to bc ngl this whole altverse is completely incomprehensible as is. and also i dunno if it's just me but Tumblr is being proper shit today and won't let me indent text? so i'm doing tags up here. i hope y'all are well and that september has been kind to you so far!

Tag, you're it! 🪄 @cutestkilla @raenestee @hushed-chorus @thewholelemon @larkral @artsyunderstudy @blackberrysummerblog @captain-aralias @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @imagineacoolusername @ivelovedhimthroughworse @facewithoutheart @rimeswithpurple @aroace-genderfluid-sheep @jasonfunderberkerthefrogexists @nightimedreamersworld @shrekgogurt @prettygoododds @youarenevertooold @alexalexinii @fatalfangirl @cosmicalart

cw: drinking/alcohol, funeral mention

His father stares at him through the flickering dark. A sluggish display of thin purple eyelids and sticky, tangled brown lashes. Simon wonders when that drawn, vacant expression stopped looking so out of place on him, when all the sharp triumph and dynamic bends of his father’s face gave way to the frowning slack of his cheeks, the flat weight of his brow.

Propping himself onto an elbow, his father scratches at the patchy stubble tapering down his neck. “Yeah,” he replies. Lying. Nobody’s been in the kitchen tonight. The stove light is off. And when Simon flicks it on, the only dishes in the sink are his own.

“Okay,” Simon says.

He opens the fridge. An obscene amount of food is crowded inside—tupperware container after tupperware container of hearty, home-cooked meals, loading up the shelves and crispers. (Like sardines in a can, he thinks. Like cars outside a funeral.)  Maple-glazed carrots, shepherd’s pie, peameal bacon, tofu scramble, fried fiddleheads, chicken stew, hashed potatoes, whipped potatoes, scalloped potatoes, baked potatoes, cheesy potatoes—who even needs this many fucking potatoes?

Apparently this is what people do when someone dies.

Leave their shit leftovers at your door.

Simon grabs a half-empty tub of something cold and lumpy from the top shelf before closing the fridge with the side of his foot. He doesn’t remember what he had for breakfast, but the spoon in the sink looks clean enough. “Gran asked about you,” Simon says, cracking the lid off, taking a bite. He frowns at the eggy taste of potato salad. “Wants you to call her. Think she’s pissed.

(Pissed is an understatement. Simon never much understood the turn of phrase if looks could kill until today, when he walked into his mother’s funeral alone. His grandmother’s chin twisted right up when she saw him, the corners of her eyes pinching tight. He thought it to himself right then—if looks could kill.)

His father doesn’t reply.

Simon glances over his shoulder, but he can’t see the couch from here. Just the television, a bit of the coffee table, the shadow of the front door stretched between panes of rain-speckled yellow. Simon toes down the heels of his J&Ms, kicks them aside, one by one, and shuffles back into the lounge room, digging through his bowl for chunks of celery and green onion.

He turns below the archway expecting his father to be asleep again, because that is what Davy Cadwallader does these days. Sleeps in a shallow grave of body sweat and sunken cushions, buried in the wilting memory of where Lucy Salisbury used to curl her feet up watching sitcoms and reading love stories by lamplight.

But instead, Simon finds him with his head between his knees.

Clasping his mouth. 

Heaving.

Choking.

Shaking.

Simon makes a strangled noise (that might have been “Wait!”) (or might have been “Dad!”) (or might have been “Fuck!”) as he rushes to the washroom to trade his potato salad for the empty Chapman’s tub behind the toilet tank.

“Don’t puke!” he shouts, and yanks open the linen cupboard. The door hits the wall and fifty-fucking-thousand plasters fall from the middle shelf like one of those shit spring-loaded snake-in-a-can gags as Simon reaches between bottles of Tylenol and Buckley’s to pry out a fresh roll of paper towel.

“Don’t puke, don’t puke!”

Simon was sixteen the first time he drank himself sick.

It was his birthday—their birthday. His and Syd’s. But the party was for Simon. The better half of their entire junior year showed up, and he wants to say it was fun, but he honestly doesn’t remember much of the party itself besides the glow of the bonfire and Snapple Spiked peach tea and Agatha’s soft mouth.

What he does remember is coming home.

The way the whole world was tilting and creaking around him; the front door, the old floors, the couch springs.

His hands wouldn’t stop shaking, his teeth wouldn’t stop shivering. He was cold and tangled on the inside, blinking full of slow, sleepy dead spots and the humid June dark, wrapped around himself on his side trying to breathe through a vicious, green nausea when his father sat down beside him in his pyjamas, still mussed with sleep.

There’s a blink in his memory—and suddenly Simon is hugging that same Chapman's tub to his stomach and curled against his father’s shoulder and Doctor Who is playing in the background and he’s drunk and embarrassed and asking, “Are you mad? Are you mad? Dad, are you mad at me?”

A hand on his head.

“Hush.” Fingers in his hair. “You'll wake your mother.”

“Are you mad?”

“I'll be mad later.”

“I’m so drunk,” Simon whined.

“I can see that. How’s it feel, hero?”

“Am I going to die?”

His father laughed. “Well, I hope not,” he said. “I’d miss you.”

hey karf! my gf is turning 30 next month and we’re going to toronto to celebrate and see the leafs play! i’m wondering if you have any recs for the city, be it your fav food/coffee spots, nature things, things to see/do. already planning a visit to the ROM per the dino boys :)

Hi Anon!! ✨That sounds so fun!! I hope you enjoy the leafs game, and I'm so glad you're going to the ROM!! 🌿🦕

I really recommend hitting up Kensington Market. It's outdoors and there are a lot of cool vintage shops and food places! If you go, you have to go to FIKA cafe. They make these amazing cardamum lattes and cardamum buns.

People really like going to St. Lawrence Market as well—it's indoors and if you go, you need to get a peameal bacon (also known as Canadian bacon) sandwich. It's a lot more food based, but there are some retailers in there.

Museum wise, the AGO is also a great visit! It's our art museum...and if you want to get real weird with it, there's also the Bata shoe museum. Yes—shoe museum.

My favourite coffee place in town other than FIKA is Jimmy's. Their coffees have a signature yellow lid and I get one at least once a week. There are a bunch of locations all over the west end of town, including in Kensington.

If you end up on Queen Street, you should go to Black Market Underground. It's very punk, and is one of my favourite vintage shops in town. It also has a record shop inside, and an Indigenous Punk clothing retailer.

If you wanna enjoy some nature, I think you have three options. #1 is The Beaches (which you may remember as being the neighbourhood Remus lives in) There is a boardwalk and some really lovely beaches. There are also some cool shops, but I haven't been out there in ages other than to go to gigs!

Choice #2 for nature would be High Park...if you're coming next month you might actually be right in time for cherry blossom season! It's the biggest park in the city and it's rather lovely.

Option #3 is Toronto Island! Ferries run all day to and from the island. You get some really great views of the city from there, and there are all sorts of activities to do.

I have infinite more food and drink recommendations, so feel free to message me if you want more.

Have the best time!! <3

Canadian Bacon Day

Canadian Bacon Day is celebrated on March 3 every year, and we’re going to show you how to celebrate the day tastefully. Do you know that it has been more than 200 years since Canadian bacon was first created? Canadian bacon is slightly different from its American counterpart.

While American bacon is mainly the fatty belly of the pig, Canadian bacon is cut from the loin of a pig. In Canada, this bacon is also known as Peameal bacon. Canadian Bacon Day is a day dedicated to this delicious food, a favorite breakfast item amongst millions in America, Canada, and some European countries.

History of Canadian Bacon Day

Evidence suggests that pork domestication started in China in 4900 B.C. However, it is said that it is only in 1500 B.C. that the Chinese started salting pork bellies. Centuries later, pork breeding became increasingly common in parts of Europe and Asia.

In Medieval times, bacon was quite popular in countries like England, France, and Germany. In those times, the term bacon was used to refer to anything made of pork or pork in general. In French, it was known as ‘bacun’ and in German, it was called ‘bacho.’

Soon, bacon reached other parts of the world, and countries started developing their variations of it. For example, it was called ‘bekon’ in Japan and used for dishes like ‘yakitori.’ Australia, the United States, and Canada had different variations of bacon as well.

In Canada, pork packers started cutting pieces from the pig’s loin instead of the fatty belly like the Americans. One of them, named William Davies from the William Davies company, started packing pork loins with yellow peas while sending it to his relatives in England.

He believed that keeping yellow peas increased the bacon’s shelf life. It is said that this is how peameal bacon or Canadian bacon originated. Today, Canadian bacon or peameal bacon is a delicacy enjoyed by people worldwide.

Peameal bacon sandwiches have been popular since the 1960s, and it is a big attraction for tourists who visit Canada or the United States. Though it is not known when Canadian Bacon Day was born, millions observe the day to celebrate this tasty and meaty breakfast dish.
