Today we're sizzling, crisping and crunching into the smoky, savory world of bacon. Before we fry up some facts, a big crispy overseas shout out to Lucas Emanuel in Singapore. You wrote and told us that you love whosmarted because you learn something new every time you listen to. And you don't even have a favorite episode because they're all your favorites. Aw, that's what we love to hear, Smartypants. Thanks for smarting with us. Okay smarty pants, let's get cooking. Question 1 what part of the pig does bacon usually come from? Is it a the belly, b the tail, or c the hoof? If you picked A, that answer is C. Sizzling. Smart bacon typically comes from the pork belly, which is cured and cooked to crispy perfection. What process gives bacon its flavor before cooking? Is it a freezing, b curing or c boiling? If you said B, you're on a roll. Bacon is cured with salt and sometimes smoked, which gives it that rich, savory flavor. You're off to a sizzling start, Smartypants.
