Bacon is deemed to be one of the most delicious foods in Western society. There are numerous sites devoted to this subject. There are even fan clubs. Amazingly, there are actually Bacon shoes (these are not really made out of Bacon but are rather designed to seem as if they have been – do an online query if you do not trust my word).
This, perhaps unexpected popularity, makes us wonder. Who invented bacon? How to cook bacon? Can you microwave bacon? How to make bacon? Can we do this ourselves? Which are the best bacon recipes? Is Bacon Healthy? Why do people love it so much?
Fortunately, the internet is a wonderful place to look for resources for such information. A quick search shows that Bacon is actually cured meat that is made from various parts of a pig. There are many types of bacon which come from different sections of the pig (its belly, its side, its loins, its shoulder and even its cheeks). Additionally, there are a great number of methods of preparing it: it can be fried, boiled, smoked, baked, grilled, used as a ingredient in a salad and in many additional manners. And certainly,, bacon can most definitely be microwaved (i.e. using a microwave bacon cooker), and this is an action we can do ourselves.
Since Bacon is prepared from pigs (although in certain countries, non-pig based bacon-like foods are also referred to as bacon, which is in my honest opinion simply does not count), is actually prohibited to eat for followers of Judaism and Islam. Judaism considers pigs as ‘dirty’ or ‘tainted’ animals and as such, all meats prepared from them are not allowed.
