# Cooked Bacon

**Cooked bacon** is a [food](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Food) [item](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Item) obtained from [pigs](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Pig), cooking [raw bacon](@better_mcdonalds_mod:raw_bacon) or [trading](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Trading) with [villagers](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Villager).
