bacon

Bacon is a type of salt-cured pork made from various cuts, typically the belly or less fatty parts of the back
Bacon is a type of salt-cured pork made from various cuts, typically the belly or less fatty parts of the back. It is eaten as a side dish (particularly in breakfasts), used as a central ingredient (e.g., the bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich (BLT), or as a flavouring or accent (as in bacon crumbles in a salad).

Meat from other animals, such as beef, lamb, chicken, goat, or turkey, may also be cut, cured, or otherwise prepared to resemble bacon, and may even be referred to as, for example, "turkey bacon". Such use is common in areas with significant Jewish and Muslim populations as both religions prohibit the consumption of pork. Vegetarian/vegan bacons such as "soy bacon" also exist.

    Recipe Potato salad with avocado and coriander dressing

    With six ingredients, this is a simple recipe. Avocado and coriander (cilantro) combine to make a light creamy dressing (with less than half the calories of mayonnaise). Crispy bacon adds a salty smokiness, pickled lemon the necessary sourness. If you can’t get pickled lemons you could...

    Recipe Bacon Burger Stir Fry

    This happened because I started to think of tomato ketchup as a cousin to gochujang. This got me to thinking of other East – West family relations.
