Other countries around the world use the side and back cuts of pork. The meat is cured in either a salt brine or a salt pack. It is then either dried, boiled, or smoked....but every bacon eater agrees--everything tastes better with a little bacon. You can even also find many items flavored or scented with bacon, including popcorn, soap, candles, air fresheners. The word "bacon" can be traced back to various languages from before the 12th century. Most notably from the French word "bako" and the Germanic "bakkon" which specifically refer to the rear of the pig. The popular phrase "bring home the bacon" can be traced to the 12 century, in the English town of Dunmow. The church promised to reward a side of bacon to any married man who swore before God and the congregation that he would not quarrel with his wife for a year and a day.
