Editing Canadian English (section)

==== Food and beverage ====
* Most Canadians as well as Americans in the Northwest, North Central, Prairie and Inland North prefer ''pop'' over ''soda'' to refer to a carbonated beverage, but ''soda'' is understood to mean the same thing, in contrast to British English where ''soda'' refers specifically to soda ''water'' (US/Canadian ''seltzer water''). ''Soft drink'' is also extremely common throughout Canada.
* What Americans call ''Canadian bacon'' is named ''[[back bacon]]'' in Canada, or, if it is coated in cornmeal or ground peas, ''cornmeal bacon'' or ''[[peameal bacon]]''.
* What most Americans call a ''[[chocolate bar|candy bar]]'' is usually known as a ''chocolate bar'' (as in the United Kingdom). In certain areas surrounding the [[Bay of Fundy]], it is sometimes known as a ''nut bar''; this use is more popular in older generations. Legally only bars made of solid chocolate may be labelled chocolate bars.<ref>{{cite web

* Even though the terms ''French fries'' and ''fries'' are used by Canadians, some speakers use the word ''chips'' (and its diminutive, ''chippies''). (Chips is always used when referring to ''[[fish and chips]]'', as elsewhere.)
* ''homogenized milk'' or ''homo milk'': milk containing [[Fat content of milk|3.25% milk fat]], typically called "whole milk" in the United States.
* ''brown bread'' refers to [[whole-wheat bread]], as in "Would you like white or brown bread for your toast?"
* An ''[[expiry date]]'' is the term used for the date when a perishable product will go bad (similar to the UK ''Use By'' date). The term ''expiration date'' is more common in the United States (where ''expiry date'' is seen mostly on the packaging of Asian food products). The term ''Best Before'' also sees common use, where although not spoiled, the product may not taste "as good".
