Answers:
The bacon fairy makes it out of leftover fairy dust!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Bacon is made from fresh pork which has been cured (preserved with salt) so that it will keep for longer!. There are two main methods of curing:

Dry Curing

This is the oldest method and each farmhouse would have its own recipe and a slab of bacon would be kept in the inglenook above the fireplace!. From Saxon times pigs were fattened in oak forests on mast (acorns) during Autumn and cured to provide meat for the family in winter months!. Bacon formed part of the rations for long distance sea journeys, heavy salting preserved the meat from spoiling, but by the time it reached the Americas it was tough and more like boot leather than bacon as we know it today!.

Wet Curing

The term ‘Wet-cure’ means to immerse in a liquid brine (a salt and saltpetre solution containing useful salt tolerant bacteria) for 3 to 4 days!. This is a much milder form of curing, and the meat is cured in the brine under refrigeration!. As meat keeps fresh longer at lower temperatures it does not require so much salt!. The Wiltshire Cure (Wet-cure) was developed by the Harris family of Calne, Wiltshire in the United Kingdom, and was revolutionary in its time (1840’s)!. As there were no refrigerators in those days, they used to pack the roof with winter ice to lower the temperature

Unfortunately ‘mass produced’ bacon today is not only immersed in liquid but pumped with water and phosphates to speed up the process and add yield!. The more supermarkets squeezed their vendors on price, the more water has been added!. True flavour has been sacrificed for profit!.
