I don't actually care about bacon but I wanted to make the joke. Wait is that American Bacon? If yours the same as ours? Does your chest get tight when you eat it, if not it's not American bacon.
Controversial opinion but American bacon is not proper bacon. We do have it though, we call it streaky bacon over here there is a slight difference due to the different woods we use for smoking but it's both belly pork cuts.
We use back bacon which is way nicer, meatier, leaner and cut from the loin though it does include a tiny section of belly in it. If you can get it try it, It's far nicer. We also have a thing called Ayreshire roll which is the back bacon rasher with a full rasher of the streaky belly bacon attached basically the entire cross section of the piggy. Best of both worlds.
mmmm bacon!
