What exactly is 'vacon'?

What exactly is 'vacon'?

As I don’t eat pork, this is my take on curing and smoking veal breast to make a “bacon-like” analogue, ie, “Vacon”.

 

[gmc2003]

Veal cured in POP's brine. Cooker, can't eat pork for religious purposes and wanted to try and get something similar to bacon.

Thanks. It was pretty good. As for recipe, I used pops’ wet curing brine and hot smoked it at ~ 225-235 to an IT go about 145.
