Diane Tavegia says
Irish bacon is similar to Canadian bacon. Irish bacon is also known as rashers or back bacon. Irish bacon traditionally is prepared from the back portion of pork. The meat is cured and is almost of the same thickness as a Canadian bacon. Irish bacon is cooked but never crisped like the American bacon.
I would use a thick cut bacon if you can’t find Irish or Canadian bacon.
