The way people eat bacon around the world. Mmmmmm....Bacon!

Crazy ways people eat bacon around the world

America has been bacon crazy for quite some time now.

From bacon chocolate to deep-fried bacon and beer ice cream sandwiches, it’s the ingredient that foodies have gone hog wild over. It’s not a new craze, but it is a growing one. Reports show that bacon was even popular during the Roman Empire, when it was called “petaso” and was boiled to be eaten with figs. The word bacon has its origins in Old High German — it referred to the “back” of the pig, where some bacon meat comes from, especially in certain countries outside the United States (we like ours from the fattier belly of the pig).

First introduced to the Americas by Christopher Columbus (he brought eight pigs with him on his big trip), and then again by Hernando de Soto, who brought mainland America’s first 13 pigs to Tampa Bay, Florida, bacon really hit its boom in 1924 when Oscar Meyer introduced pre-packaged portions of pre-sliced bacon to consumers. Since then, it’s been America’s favorite breakfast food, with consumption rising by 40 percent between 2002 and 2007, and continuing to increase by a steady one percent in the following years. In the past year alone, Americans consumed 1.1 billion servings of bacon at restaurants alone. Bacon sales are up 13 percent, and there is no end in sight for the pork party.

Bacon idioms are also great, I'd love to learn all of them.

ETA: Bacon's like bucket list worthy, candied bacon ice cream with rock salt? sounds porkalicious!

I prefer Canadian bacon myself. But bacon wrapped asparagus is pretty good.

Now, I want a bacon, tomato and extra old cheddar cheese sandwich.

I'm Canadian and never seen Canadian Bacon here. We eat the same type of bacon Americans eat.

Why do they call it Canadian bacon if you guys don't even have it? Hmmm, I suspect the same thing of French fries.....

And now I'm off to the kitchen for my favorite midnight....er, 3 am snack. A big beautiful bowl of bacony goodness.

Apparently the bacon American's call Canadian is referred to as peameal over here. Apparently it tastes like ham. I've never eaten it nor seen it in stores.

Bacon is the greatest thing ever.

A few states are coming out with bacon-scented scratch-off tickets.

I guess it's getting increasingly difficult to entice people to throw their money away.

Has anyone tried turkey bacon - it seems all wrong to me? There used to be cured mutton gammon, which happily has died out. And when did they stop selling sliced bacon with the rind on?
