History of Bacon Day

Bacon Day is celebrated on December 30th each year. It was created in 1997 by Danya "D" Goodman and Meff "Human Cannonball" Leonard as a way to take a break from the traditional winter holidays and to celebrate their love of bacon.

Bacon has been enjoyed by people for thousands of years. The earliest evidence of bacon consumption dates back to 1500 B.C. in China. Bacon was also popular in ancient Rome and Greece.

In the Middle Ages, bacon was a prized food in England. In fact, there is a tradition in the town of Dunmow, Essex, where a side of bacon is awarded to any married couple who can swear before God and the congregation that they have not quarreled for a year and a day.

Bacon was brought to the Americas by European settlers in the 16th century. It quickly became a popular food in the New World, and it remains so today.
