Today is International Bacon Day !

From National today.com

Bacon Day, on the other hand, was founded by a group of Colorado-based CU Boulder graduate students in 2004. Students from Bucknell University have their own bacon day celebrations, gorging on as much meat as they can, and calling themselves ‘Meatheads.’ In the U.K., Bacon Day is celebrated some time around January 14, before the winter examinations, as a means of procrastination and fueling for revision.

In the U.S., bacon is the belly of a pig, whereas meat from the pig’s loin is called Canadian bacon. Bacon is smoked using mesquite, hickory, or maple wood, and extra ingredients may be added to further enhance the flavor. Bacon is mostly enjoyed for breakfast, in B.L.T. sandwiches, or simply on its own.

I love Turkey bacon ! what's your favorite? Enjoy the day !

I have always like their Grillers ... obviously, you would recommend their bacon? Does it need to be fried, or can you microwave it?

@Tinkrbl44 I microwave it. You get a lot of slices in a package. I like their

chicken patties too. Give it a try and see if you like it.

I used to buy their link sausages regularly, but they seem to only offer the sausage patties these days. Thanks for the rec!

Bacon is not made with only pork ... as noted, you can also get Turkey ... and Beef bacon. Prices seem to be pretty much the same, regardless of the meat used.

I knew there was a National Bacon Day ... but International Bacon Day is new to me ... but enjoy, everybody! .

@threecees I've never heard of this bacon, thanks for posting, I might try it. There are mixed reviews on the Morningstar website, some are questioning why it contains egg whites. I'm not a vegetarian per say but I might try it, thanks again !
