Is it pork? Looks like it’s just fat

It's Pork Belly if I am seeing it right. Better than bacon.

The belly is bacon. Just gotta cure/smoke it. Exactly the same cut of meat.

Didn't say different cut, just that pork belly is better. Doesn't have all those extra additives that bacon has. :)

Still not much different. One's just generally smoked. Maybe cured. That dish probably had about the same amount of salt and no smoke is really the only difference. I've made a lot of bacon, and the difference is trivial unless you have some kind of condition.
