For those unfamiliar with the term, it stands for âmegabits per second,â and, as the name implies, the metric is the industry standard for determining network performance. Itâs vital to note that megabits are very different from megabytes. A megabit is equal to 0.125 megabytes â which means that when an Internet service provider advertises speeds of 15 Mbps, your download speeds will be 1.875 megabytes per second. The term âbitâ comes from a shortened version of âbinary digit,â which is the format of how computer data is stored.
Bacon is prepared from several different cuts of meat. It is usually made from side and back cuts of pork, except in the United States and Canada, where it is most commonly prepared from pork belly (typically referred to as streaky, fatty, or American style outside of the US and Canada).
To make bacon, a large slab of the back, belly, or sides of the pig is cut off and subjected to a curing process. The best bacon comes from fresh meat, so if you are curing it at home, ask the butcher for pork which is less than 48 hours old.f the bacon is dry cured, it is rubbed in a salt mixture to which spices may be added. Most modern cooks leave the meat under refrigeration to cure, to ensure that it does not become unhealthy. Other cooks use a cooled room, leaving the slab on a slotted table so that the liquid from the meat will drain away.
