Back Bacon

Back bacon, known in the UK simply as bacon, is a cut of cured pork taken from the loin rather than the belly, as with American-style streaky bacon. It contains less fat and more lean meat, making it juicy yet firmer in texture. It is a staple of the traditional Full English Breakfast alongside eggs, baked beans and toast. It can be fried in a pan, baked in the oven or grilled. It is a great addition to sandwiches, burgers and baked dishes, and pairs perfectly with eggs. Its flavour is mildly smoky and savoury, making it a versatile choice in both breakfast and everyday cooking.
