Oh, no! <humor> Pig = Ukraine! 'Salo' (lard) is a national food here! If you want to taste smth specificly Ukrainian, you'll be served with salo and horilka (Ukr. for vodka). </humor> Ppl eat tons of salo in Ukraine! I don't. ~~~~~~Yitzik~~~~~~ 1. Humor marked. 2. No offense to the nation of Ukraine is meant. 3. Pls, don't start a religious flamewar "Is salo/pork food?"
