Mmmh….bacon!! Bacon day… any excuse hey?

Date: 4th September

Meat heads across the globe look forward to a flavour fest each year on International Bacon Day. Be it breakfasts, lunches, dinners, desserts, drinks or all of these things, there are endless ways to experience the brilliance of bacon. 

4 ways to celebrate Bacon Day

  1. Indulging in bacon desserts and sweets

No, not an obvious choice, but why not? Sweet and salty together can make the perfect flavour combo – try candied bacon and chocolate bacon or sweets such bacon brittle, bacon toffee, bacon cake or even bacon chocolate chip cookies.

  1. Drinking bacon 

Ever tried a bacontini (a bacon martini)? Bacon-infused vodka martinis are quite the thing on Bacon Day. They’re weirdly good and easy enough to make. Betty Crocker shows how. 

  1. Curing hangovers

There’s nothing quite like a bacon butty to put you right after a few too many bacontinis the night before. Being high in protein and carbohydrates, bacon and bread break down into amino acids to give you a clearer mind and can often help to relieve those hangover headaches.

  1. Wearing bacon-themed clothing

Head on over to online shops for a number of crazy things to remind us that it’s Bacon Day. You’ll find bacon t-shirts, boxer shorts, suits, shoes, fancy dress outfits as well as our favourites – bacon socks!
