You can get it smoked and unsmoked and it is generally cured, I believe. Actually If I'm not mistaken; it wouldn't be bacon if it wasn't cured is some way or another.

My local butchers do the middle bacon cut, which I have most of the time. It's the best of both worlds.

I'm a long time vegetarian who looked here only to add some snide remarks, but ya got me. That's freaking awesome! 
charcuterie in all forms is delicious imo. i can't get enough of good air cured/dried meats.

It's not necessarily bacon even if it's cured either. There are things like prosciutto, for instance.
That is so full of awesomeness I can't even think of a word big enough to describe the love that I feel for it.
Like Maki.....I am drooling.
The deep-frying part sounds sinful.
You have done well.
Edit: I went back and looked at the pics 3 more times. Please send me a slice.

My god, that may have been the greatest thing I've ever seen.

that's exactly the site i got the idea from.
Nice. I always wanted to try this.
Ok, I have to give a report on my first bacon experience. I went to a grocery store yesterday and all the pre packed bacon looked a little sad so I postponed my bacon-fest. . And since I've learned a thing or two about bacon on this forum, like the facts that it can cure short sightedness, hair loss and most VD's, I figured it would be best used as a hangover snack. So I started preparing yesterday and this morning visited a specialised meat shop and got every kind of bacon they had. With the help of my chef-in-training friend, we prepared the stuff this morning and ate it with some eggs, bread, fresh orange juice and gin.
Now, I'm a believer.
