Back bacon

Back bacon is a type of bacon that comes from a part of a pig called the loin. It's called "back" bacon because it's taken from the pig's back, where the loin is located.

When you cook back bacon, it usually looks like a round piece of meat with white and pink parts. The white part is the fat, which makes the bacon taste delicious and crispy when it's cooked. The pink part is the meat, which is very lean and has a slightly different flavor than other types of bacon.

People like back bacon because it's less fatty than other types of bacon, so it's a healthier option. It's also very popular in some countries like Canada and the UK, where it's a traditional breakfast food.
