#smoked meat

• Smoked meat product — A food product, especially pork meat, fish, or cheese, subjected to the smoking process to acquire an extended shelf life and a specific flavor. In traditional Romanian cuisine, this collective term designates core ingredients (ribs, hocks, bacon) used to enrich the taste of soups and stews.
• Bacon — A processed food product made from pork (usually prepared from the belly, flank, or back of the animal), cured, matured, and often hot- or cold-smoked. This preparation, characterized by a specific alternating structural pattern of lean meat and fat layers, is widely used in international gastronomy, fried until crispy for breakfast or used as a structural ingredient to add flavor and fat to other dishes.
