bacon
c.1330, "meat from the back and sides of a pig" (originally either fresh or cured), from O.Fr. bacon, from P.Gmc. *bakkon "back meat" (cf. O.H.G. bahho, O.Du. baken "bacon"). Slang phrase bring home the bacon first recorded 1908.

Who cares where we got the name? Give me more! Yum! Yum! What else smells so good as it's cooking away and setting off your smoke detector? (I took my battery out.)
