Canadian-style bacon is NOT streaky bacon, but otherwise often known as pea-meal bacon (coated in pea-meal or cornmeal, a very old tradition if it's actually CALLED pea-meal). It's all meaty parts and very little to no fatty parts, and resembles a dry ham/gammon in taste and texture.

Escarole, a green leafy vegetable indeed; actually a chicory variant, a strong and 'bitter' green, very good for you. Makes a lovely base for a good cheese sauce when steamed

Pimiento, usually refers to a red sweet or bell pepper, roasted/skinned and chopped small.


... and Fiona I erred in the Great Cream Debate. The Half-and-Half and Whipping were correct... the Light Cream is actually 18% butter fat and would be much closer to your Single Cream (both US and Canada, we share cow stories across the border ).
