Where do I buy bacon that does not come with a smoked flavor?!
Yes, I KNOW that bacon is smoked, but the strong smoked flavor is ruining all my tried and true recipes!. I live in Melbourne, AUSTRALIA where can I get bacon that does not taste smoked, or which cut tastes the least smoked, OR what cooking ingredient would disguise the taste!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you're using it in recipes, use Italian Pancetta instead!. It is not smoked!. You may find it pre-packaged, but you'll probably need to go to the meat counter and have it sliced to order (in the U!.S!., we'd call it the deli counter)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You are looking just a cured bacon!. Pancetta is a rolled bacon, but you can get slab bacon unsmoked as well!.
Your butcher should be able to steer you in the right direction!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well here in the UK you buy 'green' (unsmoked) or 'smoked' bacon!. Are you getting confused with 'cured'!? I'm sure you can buy unsmoked bacon in Oz, just ask when you are in the supermarket!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
