>>18031601>Bacon is made from pork belly,You dont eat the streaky bacon from the belly you are just eating fat. You can use that as a cooking ingredient for other dishes.
Bacon that you eat is made from the back of the pig. See attached pic.
And to not be ham it should be cured in salt so strong that it explodes in your mouth and you have to have a sit down after eating to give your taste buds a rest. American bland bacon certainly doesnt do that.
