AMERICAN AND ENGLISH BACON

Our American bacon isn't worthy

Part of the reason for American
bacon's inferiority lies, I suppose. in
The cut. English bacon is maze of

course, is the choicest part of the pig.
Eut our bacon is made of the ends
it is made of that gristly part of the
chop which we trim off and use for
