I’m surprised some English group hasn’t started a campaign to bring home the Bacon.

Wasn’t he the one whose headstone reads “Cursed be ye who move my bones”?

Bring Home The Bacon

"You are probably familiar with the phrase "bring home the bacon." In the twelfth century, a church in the English town of Dunmow promised a side of bacon to any married man who could swear before the congregation and God that he had not quarreled with his wife for a year and a day."

"A husband who could bring home the bacon was held in high esteem by the community for his forebearance."

Wow, this is even nuttier than I remembered. That Bacon is always hogging the attention.
