Bacon is made with different parts of the pig: in the United States and Panama, the belly of the pig is used, while in the rest of the world it is made with the side and back pieces of the pig.

world beard day

The main purpose of this day, however peculiar and curious, is to make visible this masculine aesthetic style, which never goes out of fashion and is currently in trend.

There are different styles: bushy beards, short or discreet beards, unkempt beards and curiously trimmed beards. Nowadays the beard is a strong element of human aesthetics which is of great importance. For this reason, ten years ago it was decided to celebrate World Beard Day with the aim of honoring bearded people. (JO)
