Bacon is thought as one of the most delicious foods in Western society. There are several websites dedicated to this topic. There are even fan clubs. Astonishingly, there are actually Bacon shoes (they are not really made out of Bacon but are rather made to look as if they have been – do an online query if you do not trust my word).
This, perhaps unforeseen popularity, makes me curious. Who invented bacon? How to cook bacon? Can you microwave bacon? How to make bacon? Can we do this ourselves? Which are the best bacon recipes? Is Bacon Healthy? Why do people love it so much?
Fortunately, the internet is a great place to search for resources for such information. A quick search shows that Bacon is actually cured meat that is made from various parts of a pig. There are many types of bacon which come from different sections of the pig (its belly, its side, its loins, its shoulder and even its cheeks). Furthermore, there are numerous ways of preparing it: it can be fried, boiled, smoked, baked, grilled, used as a component in a salad and in many additional methods. And certainly,, bacon can most definitely be microwaved (i.e. using a microwave bacon cooker), and this is something we can do ourselves.
Since Bacon is prepared from pork (though in certain countries, non-pork based bacon-like foods are also called bacon, which is in my humble opinion simply does not count), is actually prohibited to eat for followers of Judaism and Islam. Judaism considers pigs as ‘dirty’ or ‘tainted’ creatures and as such, all meats prepared from their flesh are prohibited.
I need to finish, my Broccoli Bacon Chicken and Chilled Cauliflower Salad is waiting for me. I suggest you go and buy some. You know you want to.
