Well no, it's not.
Would you wrap your Christmas Turkey in smoked bacon, ruining it completely?
Would you use smoked pancetta in your favorite bolognese, making everything taste of smoked bacon? Smoked bacon tasting mince with mash?
No mate, you wouldn't.
I have done both. Turkey is bland, smoked bacon helps. Have also put pancetta in bolognese..
I only ever buy smoked bacon. Though the mrs bought some unsmoked stuff the other day and I was a refreshing change.
glad you explained, as i was at a lost to wtf it was.
