30 December is the annual celebration of National Bacon Day.
Someone once said that everything is better with bacon, and according to researchers, there has been little to disprove the statement.
In the United States and Canada, bacon is made from the pork belly, whereas the side and back cuts are used elsewhere in the world. The meat is cured in either a salt brine or in a salt pack, whereafter it is either dried, boiled or smoked.
Bacon is a very popular dish throughout the world and can be found in many items that are either flavoured or scented with it, including popcorn, soap, candles, air fresheners and much more.
To celebrate Bacon Day, the founder of the day encourages everyone to eat a variety of bacon while watching Kevin Bacon movies, or movies with the word ‘bacon’ in the title.
To spice up the celebrations, the giving and receiving of bacon gifts is also recommended. Other suggested traditions that are also mentioned, include bacon toasts and kissing under pork fat mistletoe.
