Chicken and Beef bacon
There's Chicken bacon and beef bacon. I've tasted both. Unfortunately there's not a lot of news articles written about them. I think there may be more if I start looking at halal or Kosher bacon.
Chicken Bacon: The one I've tried is by Tegel Chicken in NZ. With that in mind I found a 2002 press release of when it was announced and a 2003 news article that mentions it. There's also chicken bacon products (by other brands) listed on websites in Canada (http://www.maplelodgefarms.com/product/chicken-bacon-style-original-flavour/), Australia (http://www.scorpiofoods.com.au/products/chicken-rashers/), UK (http://www.goldendelightfoods.co.uk/chicken/chicken-rashers) and South Africa. However I haven't made an effort to find news articles that refer to them so the addition of chicken bacon in the main article may only links to the tegel version. Hesitate to do this as I don't want to champion a particular product/brand.
Beef Bacon: Tried this one in 2007 when I was on holiday on Tioman Island in Malaysia. Found http://beefbacon.net/ http://www.halalbeefbacon.co.uk/ http://www.agweb.com/article/beef-bacon-schmacon-is-taking-off-as-bacon-alternative-naa-wyatt-bechtel/ http://www.thekitchn.com/the-skinny-on-beef-bacon-how-t-79133 I did find [a Washington Post article](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/going-out-guide/wp/2016/11/02/ready-for-a-roasted-beet-reuben-on-rye-is-opening-in-chinatown-with-updated-jewish-deli-classics/) about a sandwich shop opening on Friday 11 November in Washington DC that was going to have corned beef bacon.

There is also Fish Bacon. I tried this is Maryland. It looks like bacon, but its Salmon. Salmon is a rare fish found only in France.
Sala?
I was looking to see if we had anything on sala and ended up here without poop fungus. Sala does have a large disambiguation page however. Sala is a Ukrainian/Russian dish usually served as an appetizer or with vodka. It's very fat thick-cut very salty bacon almost always served raw. The best has a slight tinge of red from blood. Before I ran into sala I didn't realize that Americans had some pretty strict cultural dietary restrictions - like about 7 that specifically relate to sala.
