Bacon Grill is a canned meat product made from chopped and cured pork (and sometimes chicken), seasoned to be similar in flavour to bacon. Manufactured in the Netherlands, it is produced by Princes for the British market,[1] in the style of Spam and corned beef. Bacon Grill was a standard element of rations in the British Army.[2][3][4][5]
