We could give you an in depth story of how International Bacon Day came to be with all the details about when it started (2000), where it all began (Bedford, Massachusetts) and when it happens (the Saturday before Labor Day, so today). We figured we could also give you a bunch of cool bacon facts about how long bacon has existed (since 1500 B.C.E.) or how much bacon we eat (17.9 pounds a year if your an average American). But we decided it was best to just get to the part where we celebrate bacon. Sizzle up some salty slices and check out these great bacon-related reads.
1. The Bacon Cookbook
The book contains over 150 bacon recipes. That won’t quite get you through half a year, but it’s a good start.
2. Everything Tastes Better with Bacon
Where’s the lie?
3. Seduced by Bacon
We couldn’t resist. It’s not our fault.
4. Bacon: A Love Story
Here is truly delicious romance book.
5. Don’t Forget the Bacon
This cautionary tale reminds children to use a grocery list/app so they don’t forget important items at the store.
6. Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon
In case eating bacon isn’t your thing, you can play this game to avoid being left out on International Bacon Day.
7. Francis Bacon (World of art Series)
Again, this is for the bacon-free types who might want some art appreciation today.
