Bacon comes from the side, belly or back of a pig. The bacon is then cured or smoked. The same cuts from other animals such as beef, chicken or turkey can also be processed in the same way.
Bacon is a major component in many breakfast dishes and is one of the key ingredients in a BLT sandwich. Bacon may used as a flavor enhancer to many foods and can be fried, baked or grilled.
