Bacon Day
December 30 · Level 3 · #1639 of 2238
Bacon Day is a playful food holiday for crispy, golden strips that make almost any dish tastier. It is for everyone who thinks breakfast is not quite breakfast without a sizzling pan.
How it is celebrated: people fry or bake bacon, build sandwiches, pile it onto eggs and burgers, and the bravest even sneak it into desserts. Friends and colleagues sometimes hold a bacon brunch where everyone brings a signature dish.
Bacon is cured pork, and in the United States it usually comes from the belly. In Britain, by contrast, the favourite cut is back bacon, which includes a piece of the lean loin.
