Spilf

Det er alt for længe siden vi har haft et bacon-relateret indlæg her på Spilf hvor vi jo tidligere har skrevet om bl.a. den perfekte bacon, bacon airfreshener og mint pastiller samt selvfølgelig kogebogen “everything tastes better with bacon“. Jeg vurderer derfor at det er på tide med nogle hardcore facts fra ‘The Danish Meat and Bacon Council’ i England. Jeg har plukket lidt i dem og udvalgt hvad jeg synes er vigtig information – du kan selv støvsuge deres site for yderligere info:

• Twenty-three per cent of consumers who buy bacon in multiples are not planning to buy it when they enter the store
• Bacon is now recognised as one of the least fatty meats due to improvements in feeding systems, ie. in the rearing of leaner animals, over recent years
• Bacon, along with other meats, is a specially good source of iron. This is particularly important because many people do not have an adequate supply of iron in their diet
• The world’s first bacon chocolate bar has proved to be very popular with British customers as Selfridges, the only UK stockist, sold its entire stock of the £5.99 bar within two days
• Hog-like creatures survived a mass extinction and walked the earth before dinosaurs ruled the world.  Around 260 million years ago, during the “Age of Porcine” prehistoric pigs, which were similar in size to modern pigs with snouts and small tusks, flourished for around a million years in a “golden age” of no predator

Bon appetit!
