Which of these is not traditionally an ingredient of the dish Eggs Benedict?
Eggs Benedict is a traditional American brunch or breakfast dish that consists of two halves of an English muffin each of which is topped with Canadian bacon – or sometimes bacon – a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce. The dish was first popularized in New York City. Many variations on the basic recipe are served.
Eggs Atlantic, Eggs Hemingway, or Eggs Copenhagen (also known as Eggs Royale and Eggs Montreal in New Zealand) substitutes salmon or smoked salmon for the bacon. This is a common variation found in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom. This is also known as "Eggs Benjamin" in some restaurants in Canada.

Hey, I selected smoked salmon and it came back canadian bacon. Wrong, of course. What the heck. They weren't next to each other so it wasn't a slip of the mouse :-)

Vicki Thompson, that happens to me during the quizzes occasionally, and I use a cell.

Traditional it has Canadian bacon. I have had it with smoked salmon and it was delicious. But, I usually stick with traditional.

Eggs Benedict is one of my favorite choices for Sunday brunch which is further improved by adding a mimosa——champagne and orange juice!!!!!

krkyates, Sorry also forgot Kippers are a breakfast dish and scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. Also sometimes at home I eat jellied eels for breakfast on a Sunday.

Sorry but it does. There is a breakfast dish called Kedgeree which is basically made from boiled rice, boiled eggs, smoked haddock, curry powder and a few other ingredients

bonbinford, probably is to do with the wireless mouse. I often find when I'm typing that the cursor has jumped up several lines into the middle of another sentence. Very annoying.
