Aboard ship we didn't have sliced bacon except prefried in cans... we
machine sliced bacon from slabs, it's very difficult to slice bacon
from refrigerated slabs (too smeary), but very easy when slicing
frozen slabs. I sliced and cooked so much bacon is probably why to
this day I can't stand the smell of bacon cooking so I never eat any.
Regular sliced packaged bacon comes about 20 strips per pound
