Facts About Bacon and National Bacon Day
National Bacon Day was invented in 1997 by Danya D Goodman and Meff Leonard, who simply wanted to bring people together through their love of bacon every year. They chose December 30th for the day because they wanted to incorporate the tradition of eating pork at the holidays but in a different way.
Bacon also has different meanings and preparation methods throughout the world.
- American bacon comes from the pork belly and contains more fat. American bacon is smoked and cured, infusing it with various flavors before it’s cooked, and comes in strips.
- Canadian bacon is made from the pig’s back and resembles ham. It is thicker pieces and is often in round or half-moon shapes.
- Irish bacon is similar to Canadian bacon, except it’s often thicker. It comes from the pig’s back, just like Canadian bacon, which makes it so similar.
- Italian bacon comes in different variations. Prosciutto or speck is uncooked and unsmoked dry ham that is sliced extremely thin, while pancetta is thicker unsmoked meat that comes from the pork belly.
