In my opinion, Bacon's ancestors should come from China, because as early as ancient times, our ancestors began to preserve pork by pickling and smoking. Although the technology is not as good as it is now, the original intention is still there. Later, it was introduced to Europe in ancient Rome. After thousands of years of development and evolution, it gradually became a characteristic bacon with European flavor.
Speaking of which, I think everyone should know what meat bacon is made of, not what artificial synthesis. Of course, the market is mixed, and it is not excluded that some people will use synthetic meat to shoddy, so bacon should be bought in a regular place before it can be safely eaten. Finally, Fat Boy reminds you that bacon is rich in nutrition, but it is high in cholesterol and fat, and it is a pickled and smoked food, so you should eat less appropriately.
Some of them are mashed duck meat, which is pressed into squares with soybean protein fiber and edible gum, and then sliced on a slicer and packed in a bag for freezing.
Bacon is an English transliteration, which is actually a kind of pickled bacon slices with pork belly marinated and smoked. At present, the domestic market is mainly divided into three categories: 1: classic bacon = pork belly with seasoning, 2: high-value selected bacon = minced pork+starch, gelatin+seasoning, 3: low-price bacon = duck, chicken, pork, seasoning and various gums. I recommend you to choose the classic bacon made of pure pork belly.
Synthetic meat has been invented, which is very expensive, more than ten times the price of beef, and most people can't afford it.
The meat of some unknown creatures is injected into carrageenan, pigments, essences and various preservatives, squeezed together, and cut into pieces to become bacon.
