About the holiday

Brief History

The holiday was started in 1997 to take a rest from the winter holidays. But people have been eating pork for thousands of years. In 4900 BC, Chinese people started to cook pork with salt. This tradition went to Rome and Greece through wars. By 1500 BC it was important for pork in the Roman Empire. In old times, people made bacon with figs and wine. They called it "petaso". The word "bacon" came from different languages. It means the back of the pig. In the 17th century, people only used "bacon" for salted and smoked meat.

Bacon was a popular food in Anglo-Saxon times. Each family had their own recipe. In Victorian England, there were many types of bacon.
