Why do Americans call lard "bacon"?

Pic related, this, is bacon.

those are rashers. Bacon really is the lard strips

I hate other countries that promise me bacon and then give me a slice of ham

>> No.4710538

turns out there's more than one or two kinds of bacon!
there's more than one way to butcher a pig!

some bacons are more popular on a particular area than others!

opinions!

>> No.4710542

>>4710527

because in America bacon is made from the belly of the pig, whereas in other places it's made from the loin. streaky bacon has it's place, but it is really fatty.

britbongs pretend to be autistic online and then call it "banter"

also, I like slab bacon, or side bacon, which falls in the middle in terms of fat vs meat content. it's also cheaper than normal bacon (back bacon) where I am.

Because most murricans don't actually know how to buy their meat and just get pre-packaged shit that they think is what they want.

Lard is pig fat, bacon is cured pig meat.Fucking christ britbongs are retarded.

I thought this aswell until I came to the conclusion that OP was calling american's fat for eating strip bacon which is mostly fat instead of the bacon pictured.

TL:DR
Americans are fat
They have bad bacon

>> No.4710662

Because American style bacon is cut from the belly of the pig. Really in the broadest definition, bacon just means cured pig meat. So technically any part of the pic can be bacon.

If this is true then the horde of skinny ass hipsters eating bacon in their bloodys is a myth.
