FAQs

Is bacon bad for you?

The jury is still out on that one. Some say there’s no problem if eaten in moderation and others say it has too much fat and salt. I say enjoy life while you can.

What is bacon?

Bacon is salt-cured pork, either from the belly or the back. It’s especially good when smoked over a wood fire.

What is Canadian bacon?

Also called back bacon, it’s salt-cured smoked pork loin or belly. It actually is more like ham than bacon, but I won’t hold that against it.
