Do they have bacon here?


OK, so about a week or two back, I discovered that there is "bacon" in South Africa. Unfortunately, many products here made from pig are called bacon. What many South Africans call bacon I would definitely call ham. The first "bacon" we bought was more rectangular in shape and the second type was in the shape of a circle. The problem was not the shape, but the taste and yes, you guessed it - IT TASTE LIKE HAM. So we asked around and our team let us know that what we are looking for is called Streaky Bacon. Which when you think about it bacon is in the shape of a streak, right. Is streaky a shape? Well, it's close to being like back home bacon, but it surely isn't Carolina Pride.
