Bacon is a cut of
meat taken from the sides, belly, or back of a
pig that has been
cured,
smoked, or both. Meat from other animals, such as
beef,
lamb,
chicken,
goat or
turkey, may also be cut, cured, or otherwise prepared to resemble bacon. Bacon may be eaten fried, baked, or grilled, or used as a minor ingredient to flavor dishes. The word is derived from the
Old High German bacho, meaning "back", "ham", or "bacon".
