It’s National Bacon Day! How Much Do You Know About this Yummy Treat?
Bacon! I love bacon. You love bacon. We all love bacon. We know how to cook and we definitely know how to eat a lot of it. But how much do we really know about bacon? Let's find out!
According to Bacon Nation
- Bacon is actually addictive. It contains six different types of Umami which causes an addictive neurochemical response (Duh!)
- Bacon is one of the oldest forms of processed meats.
- Canadian Bacon is NOT BACON!
- Bacon appeals to men just a tad more than it does women.
- Bacon is used in breakfast meals 12 times per person per year.
- Out of all the pork eaten in one household, bacon makes up 19% of it.
- Bacon consumption is more common in people over 34.
- More than half of households keep bacon 'on hand' at all times!
I think it is safe to say we love our bacon. The lingering smell of it cooking on the stove and hearing it crackle can make anyone's heart jump! I like to wrap veggies in it. We can't always keep it 100% healthy, can we? No matter how you choose to cook it, bacon could probably be considered a way of life. Stay porky my friends and Happy National Bacon Day!
