bacon

Bacon is a type of salt-cured pork made from various cuts, typically the belly or less fatty parts of the back
Bacon is a type of salt-cured pork made from various cuts, typically the belly or less fatty parts of the back. It is eaten as a side dish (particularly in breakfasts), used as a central ingredient (e.g., the bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich (BLT), or as a flavouring or accent (as in bacon crumbles in a salad).

Meat from other animals, such as beef, lamb, chicken, goat, or turkey, may also be cut, cured, or otherwise prepared to resemble bacon, and may even be referred to as, for example, "turkey bacon". Such use is common in areas with significant Jewish and Muslim populations as both religions prohibit the consumption of pork. Vegetarian/vegan bacons such as "soy bacon" also exist.

    Recipe Chicken Brussels Sprouts and Quinoa Burritos

    This one was a rarity: it met with approval from both my wife and my son. Despite the presence of bacon and cheese, the use of ultra light tortillas makes this a relatively healthy meal choice: 182 calories a piece, or 4 Weight Watchers points. Ingredients 20 ounces chicken breast, trimmed of...
