This sounds like something they could do in Ukraine. Was the large a solid piece, or a spread? Eating solid pieces of pork fat is very normal in Ukraine.
- twic 7y agoIt was like a spread - i could scoop it up with a spoon, rather than having to slice it. I haven't had a chance to try to Ukrainian style solid fat!
- arkades 7y agoOh, it's a major thing. And it's delicious. You can pick it up in any Russian grocery on the east coast.
- Mediterraneo10 7y agoPork lard is eaten in the same way across Eastern Europe, not just in Poland or Ukraine, i.e. also in Hungary, Romania, the former Yugoslavia, and Russia and among Russians in Central Asia.
- twic 7y agoThe Ukrainian version seems to be a particular thing, at least for the Ukrainians: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/06/salo-ukraine-national-obsession https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/06/salo-ukraine-n...
- Mediterraneo10 7y agoNo. Ukrainians might be more passionate about salo as a "national food", but you will find the same thing in neighbouring countries.
