  • Danish Bacon: a brand name of bacon sold in the UK by the Danske Slagterier cooperative since the 19th century.
  • Beacon: fires lit on hills or high places, used either as lighthouses for navigation at sea, or for signalling over land that enemy troops are approaching, and alerting the defence.
