This year in Hungary we got to experience something new. I am not quite sure what it’s called, but I call it a fat fry.
They literally take a slab of pork fat that still has the rind attached and cut it up in big hunks, then they cut the fat like a checker board, being careful not to cut all the way through.
They then put the hunk of fat on a skewer and hold it over the hot coals.
As the fat begins to melt, they drip it onto bread.
When the bread is completely covered with the melted fat, they layer onions, tomatoes and cucumbers on the top.
This is a pretty long process and my sweet friend Lindsey lovingly and patiently made mine for me.
It was actually pretty good. It reminded me a lot of BLT sandwiches, except for the loads of onions.
Some chose to also eat the fried fat, which are like the actual pork rinds that we purchase here in the States.
While we Americans enjoyed and feasted on this new delicious adventure most of the Hungarians ate hot dogs.
Better is a dish of vegetables where love is Than a fattened ox served with hatred. Proverbs 15:17
