In Canada they typically make their bacon from the loin of the pig, the lean medallion of meat containing little fat and providing rounded slices of lean bacon.<br /><br />British back bacon is a combination of both pork belly and pork loin in one cut, the rounded lean bit on a slice of back bacon is the pork loin and the fatty streaky bit attached to it is the pork belly.<br /><br />Hope that helps a bit - you can take whatever kind of bacon you can get at your butcher or whichever you prefer in your cooking.<br /><br />Liebe Grüße,<br />Andrea<br />Andrea_TheKitchenLionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188562947486964076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-72868634216958628362020-12-21T21:32:54.280+01:002020-12-21T21:32:54.280+01:00This is a beautiful Tarte, Andrea - I am not sure ...This is a beautiful Tarte, Andrea - I am not sure what Back Bacon is, but I am sure I could use Speck or Prosciutto, as you suggest. Should the bacon have a smoky flavor?Cocoa and Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15974489071759571567noreply@blogger.com
