 I am curious to know a little more about the bacon. It is obviously very different from anything I know as bacon and it does not appear to be smoked.  

 

Doesn't it resemble what I've heard described as Canadian bacon?


In my worlds, both in the UK and China, bacon may be smoked or unsmoked and it isn't necessarily belly pork. In fact, this is smoked, but very lightly, but it doesn't have to be. This one is cured in salt and sugar with some distilled rice-wine alcohol rub then, as noted, slightly smoked.

Here is another bacon. Very smoked. This one is from Hunan and is hanging in my balcony.
