Always belly.

I'd recommend avoiding absolutes when it comes to food, turns out some of us were eating horse meat for quite awhile over here and I doubt the US food standards are much better than ours.

You don’t know what you are talking about. If you mix up horse meat and pork belly that’s on you.

My point was more that you can't say American bacon is always belly, because there's always the chance that it isn't. The sort of food they slipped horsemeat into isn't the sort I'd go near, but the bottom line is, companies selling/producing food are as prone to cutting corners as any other.

This is a stupid argument. If you have eyes you can see it’s belly meat.

I can't speak for yourself, but I'd wager the large majority of people who eat bacon don't even know what part of the pig it comes from unless its specifically listed, let alone be able to distinguish whether it is infact the correct cut.

Maybe in your country. American bacon is cured and smoked pork belly. If someone is lying that does not change the definition. A waiter is not going to bring your food to the table and say here is probably a pork chop and almost definitely a Caesar salad.
