A rasher is a thin slice of bacon, or sometimes ham. In British English this is the ordinary kitchen word: you might fry two rashers of bacon for breakfast. American English more often just says a slice of bacon. It is a countable noun — one rasher, two rashers — and it is only about food. You will meet it in recipes, cafés, and talk about breakfast. Though actually, it does not tell you how the meat is cooked; a rasher can be fried, grilled, or still in the pack. It is a piece, not a whole side of bacon.
（一片）培根。台灣日常多說「一片培根」，較少把 rasher 當量詞用。
組成Unknown origin. Said to be an alteration of older rasure (a scraping or shaving off), which would fit a thin slice, but that is not certain.
