What Is Bacon?

Posted by FishOfTheU.K.

Bacon comes from the side of a pig. The meat is cured and is usually smoked. It's the fat that gives bacon the flavour but it's not a big worry as after you cook it you can always drain the fatty oil out. You can always buy low fat and low sodium versions of bacon and a variety of flavours. It can also be taken from the back or the stomach of a pig. Also you can get beef, lamb, chicken, goat and turkey meat can be cured to resemble bacon, such as turkey bacon which can be bought in a variety of stores. It can be eaten fried, grilled and baked.
