Title
Cutting and Weighing Bacon Rashers before Packing
Description
The demand for bacon rashers increased as Australia began to supply food for US troops. Fatty, streaky bacon was an American preference which was adopted by Australians,(1) despite the short supply to civilians, as bacon fat drippings were a great substitute for butter.(2)
