Already-sliced bacon?

[pland01]

Next time tell the butcher you want fresh hams and belly then cure it yourself. If he has a problem with that find a different butcher or do the butchering yourself

Definitely!

Honestly. This whole thread has me scratching my head.
"It’s supposedly already cured. "
" Biggest question is how? What would you do to smoke bacon that’s already sliced? "
What were your expectations when the hog got slaughtered?
Why would someone cure a belly. Slice it. And call it done?
Don't take this as a slam. But, I'd be asking this "butcher" some serious questions.
Double cure? Nope and nope.
