Take bacon. Commonly used in the U.S. as well as here in Brazil. The difference is in the packaging, or lack thereof. In the States you find bacon sliced, shingled and placed neatly in a plastic pouch ready for consumption. If you were to ask your average shopper they would most likely explain bacon comes directly out of the pig that way. Here in Brazil, it's a different story. Bacon is cured, kept at room temperature and sold in blocks at your local market. If you want bacon in neat slices, well, you better know how to handle a knife.
