Happy Saturday!
Today is…International Bacon Day #InternationalBaconDay
In January of 2004, three graduate students at University of Colorado Boulder”Seth Rittenhouse, Evan Salim, and Alexa Halford”came up with the idea for International Bacon Day, and began celebrating it on the Saturday before Labor Day. On International Bacon Day, some people cook with bacon at home, some have bacon at restaurants, and some attend bacon-themed parties.
How to Observe
The day should be celebrated by eating bacon! The creators of the day suggest eating bacon waffles with a side of bacon for breakfast, eating BLTs with a side of bacon for lunch, and tasting various types of bacon recipes for dinner, perhaps by cooking them on the grill. They encourage everyone to celebrate the day, mentioning that vegetarians can eat soy bacon, while those who don’t eat pork on religious grounds can eat turkey bacon. They also suggest the watching Kevin Bacon movies, and movies where pigs get the lead roles, such as Babe.
Bacon-themed parties have become an important part of the day, and have been held all around the world. Celebrate by hosting your own bacon party, or attend someone else’s. Make a bacon dish or appetizer for other guests to try.
