Note: French bacon ("lard" in French) is often sold as whole joints for cutting up at home. However, for this recipe it is best to use ready-siced bacon, or ask your butcher to slice it thinly for you.

Slice the pork and serve with your choice of accompaniment (here it is romanesco sautéd in butter).
Remarks
For the mustard, I recommend the traditional whole-grain variety.
