History

Jae Kim made bacon and pickled eel sandwiches, which Merula Snyde had a liking for but Jacob's sibling found revolting.^[5]

Petunia Dursley used to cook bacon and Harry Potter was often made to fry it.^[1] Bacon sandwiches were a comfort food of Ron Weasley's when he was particularly hungry.^[2] Bacon is also a flavour of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.^[6]

Bacon is one of the components of a BLT, a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich.^[7]

Bacon was also usually served in the Great Hall during casual meals as well as at the Start-of-Term Feasts.^[8][9] In 1991, Harry Potter's breakfast bacon was knocked to the floor of the Great Hall when owls dropped his new broomstick onto the table.^[3]

An owl may be willing to eat bacon rinds if offered.^[10]
