I had to learn, as a child, that "Canadian bacon" is not "bacon from
Canada", rather as "French toast" is not toast from France. Do these
cites refer to what we now call Canadian bacon, or simply to bacon from
Canada? I see no evidence for the former at all in the first citation,
and barely a suggestion that I can't even articulate in the third
mentioned (second quoted).
