Streaky Bacon!!!


A lot of people ask about the little differences between the US and Australia. Well this is a biggie! "Bacon" is really ham. That's right. If you order a Bacon, Egg and Cheese McMuffin it will actually be a Ham, Egg and Cheese McMuffin (or what we in the US have termed The Egg McMuffin). Don't get me wrong, a pork product is a pork product. They all taste good. As most of you know, the Cavanagh's (at least the adult ones) aren't picky eaters. But it was nice to run across what they call here "Streaky Bacon". (Probably because of the streaks of fat in the meat, or more accurately, the streaks of meat in the fat). As with all things here, it's different, but it's the same. Tastes great but you only get a few slices in a pack because they're huge!
