Salo



Salo is raw pork fat. Lonely Planet alleges that salo is a Ukrainian favorite. According to the Ukrainians I met, it's not, it's only sold to gullible tourists. Unfortunately, I didn't find this out until after I'd eaten it. This salo was frozen and covered in chocolate. It tasted like chocolate- covered bacon and was the consistency of stringy, frozen butter.

Three bites into it my stomach protested and threatened a full systems reverse if I continued eating.

Your sense of adventure far surpasses my limited imagination!! My stomach is in total
sympathy with yours after only reading your description and seeing these skewered little
morsels. I bet your mom may have had to hug the porcelain goddess once she saw this
and knew that her baby actually ingested it!!
