Today I learned

Inspired by the video by Gem and Impulse from Hermitcraft. In the video, Impulse told Gem (a Canadian) that he had hawaiian pizza with canadian bacon on it; and Gem got really confused in what constitute a "Canadian bacon".

Apparently Canadian bacon is called "Canadian" because it is originally imported from Canada to New York. Not because it is popular or invented in Canada.

On the other hand, Hawaiian pizza is a true cultural amalgamation. It is invented by a Greek in Canada inspired by his experience cooking Chinese food. One of the culture it doesn't connect to is Hawaii, its name comes from the brand of pineapple the inventor was using.
