One of the Stillwater Woodcraft videos by Steve Davis is 'Rashers and Rum', which might be interesting to some.

From a bit earlier, 1729, reported by Wm. Byrd II in 'Dividing Line betwixt Virginia and North Carolina,' is what must be a very similar dish.
“…it was agreed that our chaplain might safely take a turn to Edenton, to preach the Gospel to the infidels there, and christen their children. He was accompanied thither by Mr. Little, one of the Carolina Commissioners, who, to show his regard for the Church, offered to treat him on the road with a fricassee of rum. They fried half a dozen rashers of very fat bacon in a pint of rum, both which being dished up together, served the company at once both for meat and drink.”
