Bacon : Bacon is any of certain cuts of meat taken from the sides or back or belly of a pig, cured and possibly smoked. The defining element is the cut. There also exists a product called Turkey Bacon, a pork-free substitute marketed as lower in fat. Bacon is generally considered a breakfast dish, cut into thin slices before being fried, or grilled. It is commonly used as an ingredient in recipes, and is valued both as a source of fat and for its flavour.
A side of unsliced bacon is known as a flitch. An individual slice of bacon is called a rasher. Traditionally the skin is left on the cut and is known as bacon rind. Rindless bacon is a popular alternative.
In the United Kingdom and Ireland bacon comes in a wide variety of cuts and flavours whilst bacon in North America is predominantly what is known as streaky bacon in other countries.
