    Bacon, where you are.

    This is bacon here where I am;

    What UK Bacon looks like when it's sold.

    There are a bunch of cuts, but the one pictured above is by far the most popular for breakfast.

    (Maybe other cuts go into dishes)?

    This is what that cut looks like for breakfast

    UK Bacon

    What's your bacon like?

    I think UK and Ireland have the same bacon as we have the same pig farmers? IDK.

    When I eat it, which is not that often, I prefer uncured bacon. American bacon is more or less the same as UK bacon. It is just cut into narrower strips.

    really?

    So it's the same but just cut different?

    What about Canadian Bacon or American Bacon or UK Bacon?

    All the same but cut different or what?

    Thank you Google!


    OMG Canadian bacon doesn't look like bacon to me, I thought it was more like UK bacon, but I was wrong.

    So UK have the back and US has the belly and Canada has the loin.

    Hmmmm...

    Now I wonder why. Why is that and what bacon's better?

    Or does all bacon taste the same fried and it's just bacon whatever the cut?

    Canadian bacon is thicker and less fatty. More like sliced ham.
