Bacon and Egg (along with sausage) were the famous English staple because they were affordable, indeed people kept chickens at home for eggs and a lot of people had a pig. The pig would be fed scraps and bulked up over the course of six months, a butcher would "lead it up the garden path" (that's where that saying comes from) and butcher it. Meats like beef and lamb were much rarer treats.
