America has been Bacon-crazy for quite some time now; we've got not just Bacon itself in countless forms but everything from Bacon chocolate to deep-fried Bacon and beer ice cream sandwiches to Bacon cotton candy. It's not a new craze, but it is still a growing one.
The word Bacon has its origins in Old High German — it referred to the "back" of the pig, where some Bacon meat comes from, especially in certain countries outside the United States (we like ours from the fattier belly of the animal).
