Bacon refers to a type of pork, usually made from the side of a pig that is cured and smoked after removing the spare ribs. It is typically consumed as a side dish, added as a flavoring agent or accent, and used in numerous foods, such as salads, sandwiches, soups, and sweets like maple bacon ice cream. It is widely available in different variants, including slabs, regular sliced, thin-sliced, thick-sliced, and ends and pieces. As a result, bacon is popularly consumed by individuals of all age groups due to its unique, smoky flavor and longer shelf life.
