A friend and I tried it at an open air market in September. We had no idea what we were eating; we just that everyone was crowded around that particular booth so we wanted to join in. It was spread on fresh bread and topped with dill pickle slices. mmmmm good. Of course now that I'm aware of what it is, and the fact that I'm now back in the States and won't have access, I guess I'll just have to keep the pictures I took as a fond memory.

That does sound a bit extreme, I have to say :) I agree, a lightly melted version, with some fresh, home-baked bread with nice crispy crust is just pure heaven.... Just don't think about the calories. Indulge and enjoy ;) Oh, a spoonful?

I'm not one to eat congealed bacon grease out of the pan, and that's pretty much what it is. Then at Christmas we got fried sausage and onion on a big slice of fresh bread, and the put the smalec underneath like butter. Melted into the bread, it was quite tasty, albeit greasy. So that's my take - melted and covered with something else it's ok, but definitely not cold.
