ELI5 why is bacon so different from the rest of the pig?

It tastes nothing like pork chops, what gives?

Bacon is cured and often smoked. The curing and smoking process dramatically alters the flavour of the meat. If you smoked and cured a pork chop it would taste a lot like bacon (though it has less fat so it would be dry and tough, which is why we don't do this to chops or leaner cuts of meat).
