Cured Meat Delicacy

Bacon Info & History

Salted pork belly first appeared in China. In Middle English the term bacon or bacoun referred to all pork in general. Before the industrial revolution, bacon was generally produced on local farms and in domestic kitchens. The world’s first commercial bacon processing plant was opened in Wiltshire in the 1770s by John Harris. In 1930, 99% of the world’s bacon and ham exports went to Britain, where Danish bacon was preferred to domestic bacon. Danish bacon was produced in a state-supported factory system with more standardized quality and was extensively advertised. In the Second World War Danish bacon was not available, and the American alternative, said to be fat and heavily boraxed, was not popular.

Now for the controversy – how do you like your bacon?

Landscape of Relationships: Love Languages

Love Languages (Gary Chapman):

  1. Words of Affirmation 
  2. Quality Time
  3. Acts of Service 
  4. Gifts
  5. Physical Touch 

The 5 Love Languages (according to Britney, Bitch!):

  • Physical Touch: My loneliness is killing me
  • Words of Affirmation: I must confess I still believe
  • Quality Time: When I’m not with you I lose my mind
  • Give Giving: Give me a sign
  • Acts of Service: Hit me baby one more time

The 5 Neurodivergent Love Languages:

  • Infodumping
  • Parallel Play
  • Support Swapping
  • Please Crush My Soul Back into My Body
  • “I found this cool rock/button/leaf/etc and thought you would like it”

Comparison of Results:

Gary Chapman, PhD, 1992, The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts 

Fear not: John Gottman and the Gottman approach, which I reference often, is a good overlap with the 5 languages of love….and allows some flexibility with the concepts.
