From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of bacon dishes. The word bacon is derived from the Old French word bacon, and cognate with the Old High German bacho, meaning "buttock", "ham", or "side of bacon".[1] Bacon is made from the sides, belly, or back of the pig and contains varying amounts of fat depending on the cut.[2] It is cured and smoked over wood cut from apple trees, mesquite trees, or hickory trees.[3] Bacon is used as an ingredient or condiment in a number of dishes.
