:-)
I wonder if there would even be a Canadian bacon if pizza was never invented.

Canadian bacon with pine-apple is one of my favorite pizza.

I buy half a pound of Dietz & Watson London Broil roast beef each week for my lunches; I get four sandwiches out of that. (Yeah, I know most people want more than 2 oz. on a sandwich, but I'm trying to eat carefully.)

>>>Frankly, I don't know how people eat most of that stuff. I cannot eat a McDonalds 'burger', and KFC really turns me off. I guess I prefer my food to be actual, real food. Having said that, I do admit that do have the odd Sub. I only ever buy the small sub, but at least it tastes like it was intended for human consumption.
