Homemade bacon

Overview

Don’t people here eat bacon? I have visited many places, supermarkets and markets, and there is not even packaged bacon. Well, I can make it myself and have enough food and clothing. I bought my own meat and made bacon by trying to remember my grandma’s method of making bacon, and made some improvements.
