Default A substitute for "Speck" (the german ingredient)

Try contacting someone listed on this page:

I've been to the Old World Deli on Liberty Road a few months ago, and
saw that they have a fair selection of fresh and frozen German style
meats, along with a variety of other German foods, condiments and
delicacies.

As I recall from my few visits to Germany years ago, "speck" is a
variety of cured pork similar to American bacon or Italian pancetta,
i.e., pretty fatty and smokey/cured tasting, not lean like Canadian
bacon. (This was more than 20 years ago, so memory is a bit hazy...)
