International Bacon Day Roundup

Thanks to all the August participants on the Merry Monday Link Parties, I have a bunch of recipes to share on this International Bacon Day
Recipe Celebration 2014! Everyone had such wonderful recipes that I decided to feature all of them ๐Ÿ™‚ If you missed linking up the Merry Monday Parties, don’t worry. Add your bacon recipe to the inlinkz linkup at the end of this post.

Now, nobody knows who started this International Bacon Day and it’s not even a real International holiday, but do we really need a designated day to celebrate bacon? Of course not! But before we get to the bacon recipes, let’s look at some fun facts about bacon…

Baconย Fun Facts

  • Supposedly, bacon is one of the oldest curedย meats around. In fact, the Chinese were preserving and salting pork bellies as early as 1500 B.C.
  • The word “bacon” has its roots in aย combination of French and Germanic dialects.
  • The unofficial International Bacon Day is celebrated on the Saturday before Labor Day.
  • Americans eat about 18 lbs. of bacon a year!
  • The phrase “bring home the bacon” can be traced back to 12th century England. In a town called, Dunmow, the English church promised to give any man a side of bacon if could swear before the congregation that had not quarreled with his wife for a year and a day. Hmm…if that was the only way to get bacon in the present world, I bet there would be many baconless homes.
  • Holy smokes! 1 tsp. of bacon grease contains 38 calories and is around 40% saturated fat, so please eat bacon in moderation ๐Ÿ™‚

Now that you’re armed with some bacon knowledge, are you ready for some bacon overload? Let’s get to it!
