Imagine relishing crispy bacon strips that provide just the right amount of saltiness and crunch to your loaded burger or sandwich. It gets even better if you add bacon bits to Carbonara. Only good things can come out of adding bacon to anything that you eat, and if you love bacon, you will agree because once you love it, there is no going back. Even chefs in Mumbai and around India believe in the goodness of bacon and that is why they say adding a piece of pork strip to anything is delicious.

Every year, the world observes International Bacon Day on September 2 to celebrate frying of the salt-cured pork strip around the world. While traditionally bacon is eaten as a side with a variety of different dishes including the classic Eggs and Bacon, there are chefs from restaurants in Mumbai and around India, who are adding bacon to some of their most favourite creations not just for the sake of it but because it adds a unique flavour that can only be appreciated if you love eating it.
