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.

Welcome back to trusty trivia. Today, we're diving in to the delicious and crispy world of bacon. Question 3 what color does bacon turn when it's cooked? Is it A pink, B brown or C blue? If you picked B. Well done. Bacon turns brown as it cooks because of the Maillard reaction, which creates that tasty flavor and color. Question 4 which meal is bacon most commonly eaten with? Is it A breakfast, B lunch, or C dessert? If you said A, you're exactly right. Bacon is a classic breakfast favorite, often served with eggs, pancakes or toast. You're cooking up some great answers, smarty pants. Don't stop now. Stick around. We've got one final question ahead after this quick ad from our sponsors. Attention all non mouth breathers.

Final question why does bacon get crispy when cooked? Is it because A water evaporates and fat renders, B, it freezes, or C, it expands? If you picked A, that answer is crunch time correct. As bacon cooks, water evaporates and fat melts away, leaving behind that crispy texture we all love. You totally brought home the bacon, smarty pants. Want to learn more about bacon?
