Maybe it's a spoonerism of "bunky chacon," which I suppose would be a counterfeit violin concerto.
I think I saw chunky bacon on sale at Tesco last week

Man's unfailing capacity to believe what he prefers to be true rather
than what the evidence shows to be likely and possible has always
astounded me. We long for a caring Universe which will save us from
our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of evidence to the
contrary we will pin all our hopes on the slimmest of doubts. God has
not been proven not to exist, therefore he must exist.

Unless it becomes so chunky as to be considered Ham.
ChunkyBacon > Bacon
ChunkyBacon > Ham
It takes a watchful eye to cook chunky bacon when one is used to slim,
however. One must approach chunky bacon with caution.

I asked Widipedia. Chunky bacon just redirected me to the entry for
Why's (poignant) Guide to Ruby. I'm sure that is not what you're
after. So I broke down the query into "chunky" and "bacon"
chunky:
bacon:
So, using the power of synthetic reasoning ...
chunky bacon:
Chunky Bacon is a cut of meat taken from the sides, back or belly of a
pig and then packaged into a packed pixel frame buffer organization.
Bacon pixels are packaged together into a bacon byte. Typical
configurations in the local grocers include the 12 bacon pixel per
byte frame buffer, and the 20 bacon pixel per byte frame buffer.
Hope this clarifies things

As much sense as you're going get from a discussion like this one.
