What does Flitch really mean?

Alright, so "flitch" is a pretty interesting word, and it has a couple of different meanings depending on the context. When I think of "flitch," I think of bacon. You know when you see those big strips of meat cut from a pig and then smoked and sliced up to make bacon for breakfast? Well, that's a flitch of bacon! It's basically just a big piece of meat that's been sliced up into smaller pieces.

But "flitch" can also mean a large piece of timber that's been cut from a tree. So, imagine a really big tree being chopped down, and then one of the big pieces of wood that's been cut from it - that's a flitch.

I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any more questions about it.
