Talk:Salo (food)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I swear I saw a scan of Salo in Chocolate wrap on an internet forum. I got a strong impression that a Ukrainian factory indeed makes such a food (not much as much for eating as a novelty gift) abakharev 11:38, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I heard of that one too. However, while searching for it in Ukraine I found no trace of it and none of my friends could confirm this... Halibutt 14:06, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Guys, visit "Lalka" restorant in the basement of Puppet theater in Lviv. Salo in chocolate is served there. I never heard of any other places like Odessa.--Bryndza 00:28, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Is that Лялька? A clearer romanization might be Lyal’ka. —Michael Z. 2006-02-20 08:01 Z

About edit comment: "(de-russified and added a pic :))"

Halibutt, bearing in mind recent Russo-Polish tensions, it would be really helpful to avoid jokes that may be interpreted as an outburst of Russophobia. Especially bearing in mind that there was nothing specifically "russian" in the article. It was 100% ukrainian context.

In particular, you "deukrainified" it by removing the reference to horilka. It was an intolerable insult to our Ukainian neighbors. mikka (t) 23:45, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Drink all the horilka you want, but may a duck kick you if you remove it. —Michael Z. 2006-02-20 07:59 Z

Here in Canada we put "mink oil" on our boots, which smells like smoked fish—I don't know if it's squeezed from real minks, but I'm sure it's a poor substitute for genuine, expired salo. —Michael Z. 2006-02-20 08:30 Z

[edit] Webcomics

Does anyone want to expand the List of webcomics with the Salo in Space [1]? So far this list is hopelessly biased towards Anglophonic ones. mikka (t) 01:08, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

I can't believe that request went unfulfilled for over seven hours. —Michael Z. 2006-02-20 08:18 Z

[edit] Salo, solonyna

Can someone precisely describe the difference between salo and solonyna (I think solonyna is slabs of side bacon; also relevant: bekon, smalets’, tovshch)? —Michael Z. 2006-02-20 08:33 Z

I think the only difference is that solonyna is more narrow meaning for salo. Since salo can be not only salted, but also smoked, solonyna is only salted salo. Also smalets'=tovshch (tlushch), but smalets is melted from salo, it is never called salo. Backon - is salo with layers of meat. It is called shponder in Ukraine. There is special backon-stimulating diet for pigs known.--Bryndza 14:02, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
