Bacon from the back (above) and belly (below)

Bacon is a type of meat that comes from pigs. It is taken from the sides, back, or belly of the pig. It is often cut in thin slices, unlike other cured or smoked pork products. It is usually fried or grilled. It can also be microwaved

In the USA, back bacon and smoked ham is sometimes called Canadian bacon.

Bacon contains high amounts of fat. Since bacon contains pork, eating it may be against the beliefs of certain religions. In some cultures and religions (such Islam and Judaism), eating pork may be considered "unclean". Because of this, other varieties of bacon are also made out of turkey or chicken instead. Turkey bacon and chicken bacon usually contain half of the fat of pork based bacon.
