Question: what is the difference between back bacon and streaky bacon?
Answer: Smoked back bacon is a centre-cut boneless pork loin (the same lean cut can be a chop or a roast) that has been cured and smoked (top left). “Back” refers to this cut's position on the pig and differentiates it from side bacon. ... Side bacon is called streaky bacon by the Brits or sometimes American bacon by you-know-who.
