Yuanling bacon

Yuanling bacon is a specialty of Yuanling County, Huaihua City, Hunan Province. Yuanling bacon (also called Yuanling bacon outside Hunan Province) is spicy, salty and delicious, and is favored by consumers. Yuanling people have a unique habit of smoking bacon every other year. Every year near the end of the year, kill pigs, cut pork into 35 Jin pieces, smear salt and various seasonings, and marinate for three to five days. When salt and spices are soaked in meat, they are hung on a fire pit with bamboo or rattan and smoked slowly with fireworks. Smoked bacon can generally be preserved for more than half a year. If smoked with orange peel, bacon oil is red, bright red, and has no ash, so the color is more beautiful.
