To switch things up from the usual holiday fare like ham and mashed potatoes, consider a Cajun-inspired dish of rice, sausage, and shrimp.

Wagner uses a tracked equipment system to prevent soil damage and flooding to nourish fields naturally post-harvest.

SUMMARY: Bacon, dating back to 1500 BCE, originated with the Chinese salting pork belly, later embraced by the Romans and spread throughout medieval Europe. It preserves pork through smoking, enhancing its flavor, which is primarily due to its fat content. Globally, bacon has various names, such as “rasher” in the UK and “speck” in Italy. Its versatility is evident in dishes like bacon sandwiches, breakfast combos, and vegetable pairings. Commonly smoked with hickory and other woods, bacon can be fried or baked, while different brands, like Benton’s from Tennessee, offer unique flavors.
