A Brief History of Bacon Love
Bacon has been a beloved food for centuries, with its roots going back to ancient times. The term "bacon" comes from England in the 12th century, but curing pork belly has been a common practice in many cultures worldwide. Over the years, bacon has become a global sensation, finding its way into countless dishes and becoming a staple of many culinary traditions.
The modern-day celebration of bacon started in 2000 when a group of bacon enthusiasts in the United States came together to enjoy bacon in all its forms. What began as a small gathering quickly gained popularity, and now bacon-themed events, festivals, and creative recipes have become a global phenomenon.
