What is bacon?

Bacon is one of the three major European meat products. It refers to smoked rib meat (i.e. square meat) or smoked salty back meat. It is called " "Bacon", the Chinese transliteration is bacon, which tastes salty and crispy, has a strong smoky flavor, and has a bright golden skin. Bacon is also called bacon. The processing method is to marinate the pork with salt and then smoke it with various types of wood (such as peach trees, cherry saplings, etc.) to produce different flavors. So it seems that bacon is not so "high-end", it is the same as our country's "smoked bacon", especially in Hunan and Sichuan areas where it is more famous.

After curing and smoking, the shelf life of the meat is greatly increased, and it can be stored for two years without going bad. In fact, as early as thousands of years ago, the Chinese gradually used the "salting and smoking method" to store meat. Later, it spread to Western countries. Europeans designed bacon based on local phenomena, so bacon is a type of bacon. Bacon rolls Bacon rolls are a popular way to cook barbecue. The difference between fake bacon and real bacon.

About the types of bacon

Bacon looks simple, but if you break it down, it can be divided into many types. It mainly depends on how you classify it. Generally it can be divided into English bacon, French bacon, modern American bacon, Canadian bacon, etc., which are modified by countries around the world based on the dietary characteristics of the country. Among them, English bacon is more common and generally uses pig back meat as raw material. Parts of pig have more lean meat and are more tender when eaten; French bacon eliminates the need for smoking, and the pork is dried immediately after being marinated;

Modern American bacon generally uses pork belly. This part has more fat and makes it more fragrant; Canadian bacon wraps corn noodles on the surface of the pork. This kind of bacon is juicy and has a unique taste. At the same time, you can also filter according to the cutting level and curing method of bacon. In short, there are various types of bacon. I don’t think everyone has a clear grasp of it. In short, just choose the one that tastes best.
