[Sca-cooks] Raw bacon thing?

[Saint Phlip]

Ah, thank you, it's been a while- I had forgotten about that. However, I
think the word, lardum, which is being translated as "bacon" is more
accurately translated as "pork", since I have also seen references to
"bacon from the leg". Unless perhaps, they are referencing any smoke and/or
salted pork, under the generic word "bacon", somewhat similarly to the way
that they used the word "corn" as a generic term for grain?
