Why do foreigners call ham bacon?
Ham is a cured or smoked leg of pork, and the English word is bacon (English ['be? k(? ) n] beautiful ['bek? Bacon; Cured meat; Smoked pork), transliterated as bacon in Chinese, is a general term for smoked and cured meat by English speakers, so foreigners call ham bacon.

Ham is a cured or smoked pig leg, which is a cured animal hind leg after being salted, smoked, fermented and dried. Generally, it is a "sandwich ham" made of pig hind leg or pork and beef paste with starch and food additives.

Bacon is transliterated from the English word "bacon", and its original meaning is smoked rib meat (that is, square meat) or smoked salty back meat. Bacon is one of the three main varieties of western-style meat products (ham and sausage), and its flavor is not only palatable and salty, but also rich in smoky flavor. Bacon's skin is oily and golden yellow, and its cortex is hard, and it has a slight "boo boo" sound when you hit it with your fingers; Lean meat is dark brown, dry and hard, and the meat color is bright after cutting.

The most common smoked meats are smoked pork ribs (flitch ch) and bacon ham slices (rasher). Traditionally, pigskin can also be made into bacon, but bacon without skin can be used as a healthier choice.
