30 December - National Bacon Day and National Bicarbonate of Soda Day or Baking Soda Day in USA
American bacon is made from the pork belly, which. The word bacon means “meat from the back of an. animal.” 70% of all bacon in the US is eaten at breakfast.
The phrase “bringing home the bacon” originated back in the 12th century when a church in England offered a side of bacon to any man who could swear before the church that he had not fought or quarreled with his wife for a year and a day. Any man who could “bring home the bacon” was highly respected in his community.
It is not just recently that baking soda is being used for various purposes. It is a rather ancient chemical compound which has been in use in human history for quite a long time now. There seems to be a general agreement amongst historians that baking soda was primarily used first by the Egyptians sometimes as early as 3500BC. The chemical name of baking soda was not known to the ancient Egyptians. Apart from using this ingredient as a cleaning agent, it was also used in the embalming process of mummies. It was many years later in 1843 that a British chemist names Alfred Bird, found a solution by making baking soda which could be used instead of yeast, to which his wife was allergic. From then onwards there was no looking back. The use and manufacturing process of baking soda underwent changes with time and in 1970 it was proclaimed that this was an eco friendly cleaning agent, which could be used instead of harmful chemical cleaners.
