I've taken bacon, frozen on a trip over 18 hrs -- tasted just fine. It was a long trip with an overnight layover on our way from the US somewhere, if you get my meaning.
I used hotel ice since the hotel didn't have fridges in the rooms and that worked very well.
It arrived thawed, but still quite cold.
PM me if you want specifics.
When I was a kid, my folks used to freeze packets of Oscar Meyer bacon and pack it in check-in luggage. We took it with us on vacation from Anchorage to Hong Kong. We stayed at my uncle's condo/flat and he loved bacon. Back in the 1980's, we couldn't find American style bacon at any stores (or street vendor carts...yuk...

) in HKG.
