Bacon is any of certain cuts of meat taken from the sides, belly or back of a pig that may be cured and/or smoked. 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 word bacho, meaning "back," "ham," or "bacon." The USDA defines bacon as "the cured belly of a swine carcass," while other cuts and characteristics must be separately qualified (e.g. "smoked pork loin bacon").[1] "USDA Certified" bacon means that it has been treated for trichinella. In continental Europe, bacon is used primarily in cubes (lardons) as a cooking ingredient valued both as a source of fat and for its flavour. In Italy, besides being used in cooking, bacon (pancetta) is also served uncooked and thinly sliced as part of an antipasto. Bacon is also used for barding and larding roasts, especially game birds. Many people prefer to have bacon smoked using various types of woods or turf. This process can take up to ten hours depending on the intensity of the flavour desired. A side of unsliced bacon is a flitch[2], while an individual slice of bacon is a rasher (United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Australia and New Zealand) or simply a slice or strip (North America). Slices of bacon are also known as collops. Traditionally, the skin is left on the cut and is known as bacon rind. Rindless bacon, however, is quite common. In the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, bacon comes in a wide variety of cuts and flavours. In the United States ordinary bacon is only made from the pork belly, yielding what is known in Britain as "streaky bacon", or "streaky rashers". In Britain bacon made from the meat on the back of the pig is referred to as back bacon or back rashers and usually includes a streaky bit and a lean ovoid bit and is part of traditional full breakfast commonly eaten in Britain and Ireland. In the United States, back bacon is called Canadian-style bacon or Canadian bacon but this term refers usually to the lean ovoid portion.[3] What the US terms Canadian bacon is actually back bacon rolled in cornmeal.[citation needed] In Canada it is called peameal bacon, whereas bacon is used generally to refer to strip bacon, which is more common to the Canadian diet.

2. Breakfast food -Eggs Benedict
July 02, 2008
Eggs Benedict is a much loved breakfast food. It is made by toasting a whole English muffin then topping that with ham, Canadian bacon, or bacon as well as poached eggs. The whole thing is then drowned in hollandaise sauce. Much like many popular foods, the origins of Eggs Benedict are unknown. In one account, retired Wall Street stock broker Lemuel Benedict wandered into the Waldorf Hotel in 1894 and requested "buttered toast, poached eggs, crisp bacon, and a hooker of hollandaise" in an attempt to find a cure for his morning hangover. The maître d'hôtel Oscar Tshirky, the legendary Oscar of... (read more)

7. Know Your Meat...
June 04, 2008
Dear Reader, You need to eat quality protein. But this seemingly simple task keeps getting trickier… More meats are now “packaged” and you may be eating more of them than you think.

Even scarier - most parents I know are now giving their kids prepackaged meals on a regular basis. Here’s the origin of our modern problem: Meat has a short shelf life.

8. Hydroponics ensures safe produce for consumers
May 31, 2008
People kept on adapting to the changing environment. As drastic changes in the weather and the need for a safe and reach-in production increases, people shifted to modern means of cultivation. Hydroponic gardening is a concept that people may not knew, but has existed for more than 38 decades. As early as 1627, hydroponics has been conceptualized by Bacon and publicized by Gericke in 1937. Nowadays, the said procedure has been adapted in Canada and other countries, due to its efficiency and the accessibility of the technology.

9. Effective Brand-Building Tools
May 22, 2008
When you mention an object, most probably the first thing that comes to mind is a brand name or a trademark. For example, the mention of the word "breakfast" conjures images of newly brewed coffee, a plate of bacon and eggs, and your favorite brand of bagel.
Our world is bombarded with so much advertising that we connect objects with trademarks. These brands creep into our consciousness, the products of ambient advertising.
Such is the power of brand recall. Once a brand is embedded in our consciousness, it will be difficult to convince us otherwise.
Aside from public relati... (read more)

10. Mathematics in Daily Life
April 20, 2008
Mathematics in Daily Life
Waxing eloquently on the basic importance of Mathematics in human life, Roger Bacon (1214-1294), an English Franciscan friar, philosopher, scientist and scholar of the 13th century, once stated: "Neglect of mathematics works injury to all knowledge, since he who is ignorant of it cannot know the other sciences or the things of the world." And the ingenuity of his statement is there before us to see, in this Internet era. However, mathematics, in itself, has all the ingredients that make it a universal language shared by all human beings irrespective of cultu... (read more)

11. Low-Fat Cooking Techniques
April 14, 2008
You may be used to putting a knob of butter or lard into the frying pan before adding the streak bacon – this does not mean that you should.

13. Warning to Direct Marketers: Asking These Questions Will Kill Your Conversions
March 14, 2008
For those marketers who labor tirelessly, though fruitlessly, oblivious to marketing history, and unversed in copy that brings home the bacon—please take note: this article is for you.
To begin...
One of the most famous questions ever asked in an ad was penned almost a century ago by copywriting legend Maxwell Sackheim. It read:
Do you make these mistakes in English?
It was the headline for an ad that sold a rather pedestrian mail-order language course.
Yet it worked so well—pulling in so much money—the company who owned it, continued to run it for 40 long and successf... (read more)

22. Hot Biscuits & Jelly
October 31, 2007
The term biscuit comes from the Old French “biscoit”, meaning twice cooked, a description of a little cookie that was created to last for many months, even years, and was the life line for many mariners as far back as the 1700s. My memory of biscuits began around the late 1950s when a woman by the name of Mrs. Mumford baked the little treasures for her husband and on a good day, when there were leftovers, offered me one as a treat. I do believe that was my first biscuit experience. Today, almost fifty years later I can still remember the taste, the texture and the smell. The biscuits were l... (read more)
