Gather round the frying pan, Tillsonburg — December 30 is National Bacon Day, and it’s enough to make any bacon‑lover squeal. Whether you pile it on a burger, crumble it over a salad, or pair it with eggs in the most iconic breakfast duo of all time, bacon is greasy, smoky, salty perfection. It’s the only food that can make a grown adult climb a tall building and shout, “I love bacon,” without a shred of shame.
Though the holiday itself began in 1997 as a fun break from the usual winter festivities, bacon’s history stretches back thousands of years. Ancient Chinese cooks were preserving pork bellies as early as 4900 B.C. The Romans had their own version — petaso — pig shoulder broiled with figs and served with wine. By the Middle Ages, bacon was a staple for Anglo‑Saxon families, and Victorian England practically lived in a golden age of pork. Even the phrase “bring home the bacon” dates back to the 12th century, when a church in Dunmow rewarded peaceful husbands with a whole side of pork.
And just like bacon makes everything better, a full tank makes every drive smoother. No crackling, no popping, no surprises — just steady fuel to get you where you need to go.
