Bacon is defined as any of certain cuts of
meat taken from the sides, belly or back of a
pig that may be
cured and/or
smoked. Meat from other animals may also be cured or otherwise prepared to resemble bacon, such as
chicken,
goat or
turkey bacon. In continental
Europe, it is used primarily in cubes (
lardons) as a cooking ingredient valued both as a source of
fat and for its flavour. In
Italy, besides being used in cooking, bacon (
pancetta) is also served uncooked and thinly sliced as part of an
antipasto. Bacon is also used for
barding and larding roasts, especially game birds. Many people prefer to have their bacon smoked by using various types of woods. This process can take up to ten hours depending on the intensity of the flavour desired. Bacon may be eaten fried, baked, or grilled.
