The USA came late to the "streaky bacon" table.

From the web: "The Greeks and Romans ate bacon, and, as time progressed, this perfect pork product was enjoyed in England, France, Germany, and, eventually, the United States."

Absolutely!

Thanks to the Mesopotamians for domesticating the wild pigs 10,000 years ago, the Chinese for for the salt cure around 1500BC, the Scandanavians for bakkon maybe 700 years later.
We did what the U.S. does best, embrace the best from everywhere and make it like our own.
