The Dunmow Flitch Trials are a unique English tradition held in Dunmow, Essex, where married couples compete for a flitch of bacon. The event dates back to the 12th century and celebrates marital harmony. Couples must prove they have been happily married for a year and a day, answering questions from judges about their relationship. During the trials, couples present their case in front of a jury, which decides if they deserve the flitch. If successful, they receive a side of bacon as a reward. The event is a lighthearted celebration of love and commitment, attracting visitors and participants alike.
