Bacon is a type of pork that has been cured and then cut into slices. There are two primary types of bacon, side, or streaky, bacon and back bacon, which has more meat and less fat.
Bacon is used in many dishes. It is popular in cooked breakfasts, especially such as the Full English and the regional variants, in sandwiches and for wrapping roasts, vegetables and seafood. More recently, it has started turning up in a whole variety of other dishes, from chocolates to ice cream. The full range of bacon-related dishes now available has grown exponentially.
Bacon can also be flavoured. It can be smoked using different woods and other substances, from chilli to sugar to honey to maple syrup can also be used.
There are also a number of bacon variants that do not contain pork. Turkey bacon is one of the more well-known ones, but there are also soya-based bacons suitable for vegetarians.
