Bacon Bacon Bacon

<h3>Why?</h3> <p>I searched for "bacon" in the Vintage Story Mod Database and to my surprise (<em>at time of creation</em>), there were no results! I finally found my market!</p> <h3>So what exactly do we have here?</h3> <p>When you harvest pigs, you should now expect to see a decrease in red meat (<em>which... why do pigs not drop pork?</em>). In its place, you will now find bacon! It's right there in the name!</p> <h3>What can I do with it?</h3> <p>You eat it, duh.</p> <h3>No seriously, what does this mod add?</h3> <p>Fine...</p> <ul> <li><strong>Raw Bacon</strong> from harvesting pigs <ul> <li><em>yup makes sense</em></li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Cooked Bacon</strong> from fire pits or clay ovens <ul> <li><em>sure</em></li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Crispy Bacon</strong> from leaving cooked bacon in an oven or over a fire for a little longer <ul> <li><em>well you gotta have that</em></li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Cured Bacon&nbsp;</strong>from curing raw bacon in a barrel of salt.
