So if your bacon is smoke then it's fine? So you can use bacon then?
Want to make "spaghetti carbonara"

smoked bacon would be a reasonable sub in my opinion. this might upset a few.

Pancetta is the nicer option if you can't get guanciale but bacon is still fine. Sometimes I have it with bacon just for a change.

Cool, I can get smoked bacon from a local guy, but I don't think I can find guanciale anywhere. I'll give it a try.

i thought carbonara was supposed to be some poor person food, why's it gotta be all "gourmet cheese" and fancy cuts of meat?

>guanciale is smoked
Ignore this post. Neither guanciale nor pancetta are smoked. True bacon (not the garbage grocery variety) is smoked. I suppose if you like a smoky flavor then bacon works, but it's not authentic. The order of preference should be: guanciale>pancetta>bacon.

Clapistan considers cheese made from milk rather than sawdust and petroleum gourmet, and bacon made from cured pork belly rather than salted and corn syruped lard fancy.

I use pre-cooked bacon bits.

>local cornershop doesn't stock guanciale
I've literally never seen this or heard of it before a few months ago. Where would you ever get this shit? Not surprised people use bacon. That video with the old Italian(?) chef calls it bacon as well.
