PORK BELLY [9 records]

Record 1 2018-11-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meats and Meat Industries
  • Pig Raising
CONT

The sheet ribbed belly is similar to the bone-in belly except the spareribs are removed in one piece as well as most of the associated bones and cartilage. The sheet ribbed belly should be relatively square in appearance. Sheet ribbed bellies may be purchased skin-on or skin-off with the fat at the edge of the cut tapered to meet the lean.

OBS

The pork belly comes from the cut of the shoulder, the leg and the loin. The pork belly ribs are pulled out, then the pork belly is skinned. Following that, the posterior extremity is trimmed at a 90° angle and the ventral line is cut parallel to the line of the loin, according to the desired dimensions.

CONT

Comme partout en Amérique du Nord, le lard (ou bacon), est présent dans tous les plats (ou presque), au petit-déjeuner comme dans les sandwiches. On peut même trouver du bacon parfumé au sirop d’érable.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Industria cárnica, de fiambres y embutidos
DEF

Panceta ahumada.

OBS

El "Diccionario panhispánico de dudas" (DPD), indica que la voz inglesa "bacon" ('panceta ahumada') se ha adaptado al español en las formas "beicon" —que adapta la grafía a la pronunciación inglesa original— y "bacón" —que conserva la grafía original, con pronunciación a la española [...] La forma "beicon" es hoy mayoritaria y, por ello, preferible. Dada su frecuencia en países como España, se admite el uso del extranjerismo adaptado, aunque es siempre preferible el empleo de equivalencias españolas tradicionales, como "tocino" —usada, con este sentido, en países como México, Chile o el Ecuador—, "tocineta" —en países como Cuba, Colombia y Venezuela— y, en general, "panceta ahumada" [...]
