I tried the facon. It is nice, but it does not have the crunch factor that gives a good lamb belly bacon or well-made gribenes that wonderful mouth feel (crunch, followed by sensuous explosion of smoky, salty, richness). Compared with these, facon is a crispy slice of smoked meat. Tasty, and probably useful in adding smoky richness to some dishes. But its not bacon.
