What meat is bacon?

Say so lively, what kind of meat is bacon?

Bacon meat, such a tall name, it is common to call it a nickname:

A kind of pickled pork.

Specifically, it is a kind of cured/smoked processed pork, which belongs to the category of "carcinogenic" and "junk" food.

Why bacon? This is very simple, because it is a transliteration of the English word "Bacon".

Then, if you understand the origin of the word "bacon", you will know what bacon is.

"bacon" or "bacoun" first appeared in English in16th century, meaning pork.

But its etymology comes from Germanic (German) and French dialects, bacun in ancient French, bacho in ancient Highland German and backe in ancient Teutonic (a language family of ancient German).

No matter what language it is, it means one thing, that is, back, that is, the meat on the back of a pig.

However, what is really most commonly used to make "bacon" is the meat from the side belly or abdomen of pigs.

Why is bacon popular? After all, "bacon" is just "pork belly", so it is no wonder that it is popular.

Pork belly containing a lot of lard is made into over-processed meat by pickling, air drying and smoking, which is really not a good thing to say.

However, people can't stop its delicious temptation.

Bacon can be used as a main ingredient to make various delicious dishes, which enriches its flavor and further enhances its appeal to people.

Of course, bacon is not necessarily made of pork belly, but also different parts such as pig hind legs and pig back, which can be different according to people's preferences.

In a word, the main reason why bacon can make people so enthusiastic is the smell of lard and the "flavor" brought by various production techniques.
