National Bacon Day, observed on December 30, honors one of the world's most delicious dishes. Bacon is one of the most consumed foods in America, whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Because it goes with anything—eggs, poultry, burgers, pancakes, salads, even drinks—it is a favorite among most people. Some individuals adore bacon so much that the market for bacon-related goods has exploded in recent years; you can even find candles and soap with a bacon aroma.
This day is for you if you adore bacon, so heat your frying pan and light your bacon-scented candle!
In 1997, Meff Cannonball and Danya Goodman established National Bacon Day. In addition to providing a break from all the winter holidays, they wanted to create a day that would bring together all bacon lovers in their love of this cuisine.
However, the consumption of bacon dates back thousands of years.
The History of Bacon
People in Central Asia started domesticating wild pigs circa 4900 B.C. and eating their meat. The pork belly was traditionally preserved with salt, which resulted in a fatty and salty meal that soon gained popularity among many. This is what would ultimately come to be known as bacon.
Through their conquests, the Romans rapidly learned about this treatment and took it back to the Roman Empire, where it quickly gained popularity. Instead of the pig's belly, they named the preserved pig shoulder "petaso." This was grilled and served with figs for breakfast and dinner. People liked petaso because it was affordable and simple to prepare.
This is where the word bacon originated and spread to other European nations. It was first known as "bak" or "bakkon" in Germany before being referred to as "bako" in France. All types of pork eventually came to be known as "bacoun," and it wasn't until the 17th century that the word "bacon" came to be established as the term to denote that form of a pig.
Hernando de Soto introduced bacon to America when he traveled to the continent in 1539 and took 13 pigs with him. These 13 pigs multiplied during the following few years to 700, and Hernando rose to fame as the "Father of the American Pork Industry" and made a significant contribution to the bacon craze.
