Side pork is a flavorful cut of meat that comes from the belly of the pig. It is also known as fresh bacon or pork belly. However, there are several other synonyms for side pork, including streaky bacon, cottage bacon, or slab bacon. Streaky bacon refers to the fatty, marbled meat that makes up side pork, while cottage bacon is cut from the shoulder of the pig and is less fatty. Slab bacon is a larger cut of meat that includes the belly and loin of the pig. These synonyms all refer to different cuts of pork, but all can be used interchangeably in recipes that call for side pork.
