I eat salt-cured pork and eggs for breakfast all the time! Do you like bacon? 
I've never tried it!  What is it made from?
Bacon? It's made from different cuts of meat. Most times it will be the pork belly or back. It's a pretty common breakfast food in some areas.
It sounds interesting!  Does it have much protein in it?  I work out a lot, and I need lots of protein!
Well, I would say it's usually mostly very fatty. It's usually eaten as a side dish or part of a sandwich, like a "club sandwich". 
Oh, I've heard of club sandwiches!  I think they're made with tomato and lettuce and maybe cheese?  I didn't realize that bacon was in them too!
Yeah! Although some people will just use bacon for boarding and larding roasts. Like if you were to cook a pheasant on a rotisserie.
Oh, so you don't just eat it, you can use it when cooking and stuff?  It sounds versatile!

Meat from other animals, such as beef, lamb, chicken, goat, or turkey, may also be cut, cured, or otherwise prepared to resemble bacon, and may even be referred to as, for example, "turkey bacon".
