Flitch of Bacon
A "Flitch of Bacon" refers to a side of cured pork, typically taken from the belly or sides of a pig. It is often used in cooking and can be sliced into strips or pieces for various dishes. The term is particularly associated with traditional English cuisine.
In some regions, a Flitch of Bacon is also linked to a historical custom where married couples would take an oath to prove their happiness in exchange for a side of bacon. This practice is famously connected to the village of Duns Tew in Oxfordshire, England, where the Flitch Trials were held.
